WP(C) 2875/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. R. Dubey, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. S. Samaria, learn ed Standing Counsel, Agriculture Department appearing for all the respondents. The petitioner is aggrieved by the condition put in the Floating of Enquiry (FOE ) issued by the Director of Agriculture, Government of Assam, one in the month o f April, 2011 and another on 20th May, 2011. The condition by which the petiti oner is aggrieved is that the manufacturers/companies whose product was not fou nd satisfactory in the past supplies to the department/farmers or whose quality/ specification of the pump set is under dispute/under litigation may not be inclu ded in the short list. The contention of the petitioner is that such a clause amounts to black listing the petitioner. Pursuant to the FOE issued in the month of April, 2011, the petitioner while sub mitted his bid, the petitioner is yet to submit the bid against the FOE dated 20 th May, 2011, last date of which is fixed as 7th June, 2011. No decisions have been taken by the authority rejecting the claim of the petitioner in respect of the FOE issued in the month of April, 2011 and in respect of the FOE dated 20th May, 2011, the last date of submission of bid being 7th June, 2011, the stage ha s not come. That being the position, I am not inclined to entertain the present petition at this stage, the same being pre-mature and hence dismissed. It would, however, not preclude the petitioner to approach this Court if their b id is rejected on the basis of the aforesaid condition put in the FOEs. The res pondent authority, in case of rejection of technical bids, shall forthwith intim ate the reason thereof. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed with the above observation. No costs .
