IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.15539 of 2008 Shambhu Prasad Sah, son of late Bhagat Prasad Sah, resident of Mohalla-Barihat, P.S.-K.Hat, District-Purnia. ……….Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. Conservator of Forest, Purnia Anchal, Purnia 3. Divisional Forest Officer, Araria Forest Division, Araria 4. Gopal Prasad Bhagat, son of Not known proprietor, M/S. Laxmi Timber, Malda, West Bengal, at present residing at A.D.B. Chowk, Araria, Bihar. ………Respondents ---------------------------------- 02. 18.08.2011 The petitioner has prayed for quashing the order dated 27.09.2008 passed by the Conservator of Forest, Purnia Anchal, Purnia who cancelled the tender dated 25.08.2008 for Lot No. 1 of 2008 and 2 of 2008 and directed to hold fresh bid fixing Rs. 95000/- and Rs. 31000/- as reserve amount. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner was the highest bidder and without hearing the petitioner the tender was cancelled. Counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the State which reflects that on the basis of certain complaint the matter was referred to the Conservator of Forest and in the re-bid one Dilip Kumar Yadav offered a bid for Rs. 2,11,581/- which was more than double of the petitioner’s bid amount. It is true that petitioner ought to have been heard before the re-tender was done, but in view of the fact that re-tender was done on complaint and for the sake of Government revenue, this Court is not inclined to interfere. The application stands disposed off. Shageer (Dinesh Kumar Singh, J)
