IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION (LODGING) NO. 2716 OF 2008 I.R. Technology Services Pvt.Ltd. .. Petitioner Vs. Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai and another. .. Respondents Mr. M.V. Limaye for the petitioner. CORAM : SWATANTER KUMAR, CJ & S.A. BOBDE, J. DATED : 28TH NOVEMBER, 2008 P.C. The petitioner in this petition prays that respondents be directed to cancel the tender process for supply of Medical Equipments for various peripheral hospitals run under the supervision of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai and not to allot the tender in respect of Item No.6 i.e. Blood Gas Oximetry Electrolyte/Metabolites Analyzer. The only ground on which the action of the respondents under challenge is that the specifications provided in the tender conditions for purchase of such material are similar to the one which have been provided by one of the applicants. According to the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, this will have the effect of necessarily petitioner being excluded after the technical bids are examined. 2. Firstly, we are of the considered view that this petition is premature as the respondents have not taken any final decision as yet. Secondly, the challenge raised is based upon apprehension of the petitioner and not on any appropriate logical reasons. The specifications for fully automatic Blood Gas Oximetry machine are stated to be covered under item No.6 of the notice inviting tenders provided by the authorities as per their mean. It is not for this court to sit as an appellate body and to examine whether such specifications ought or ought not to have been provided. This is a matter which is strictly falls within the jurisdiction of the competent authority of the respondents. Merely because one of the applicants is able to match the specifications or they are similar to the one identified in their portion per se, is no reason for this court to hold at this stage that the action of the respondents is arbitrary. 3. Writ petition has no merit and is dismissed with no order as to costs. CHIEF JUSTICE S.A. BOBDE, J
