CWP No.21228 of 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CWP No.21228 of 2010 Date of decision: 29.11.2010 M/s Shiva Group -----Petitioner Vs. The Airport Director and another ----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present:- Mr. Pankaj Maini, Advocate for the petitioner. Adarsh Kumar Goel,J. This petition seeks direction to the Airport Director of Chandigarh Airport to accept bid of the petitioner for management of car parking. Case set out in the petition is that in pursuance of tender notice Annexure P.1 for management of car parking at Airport, the petitioner gave its bid alongwith relevant documents. The said bid has been rejected only on the ground that the same was submitted beyond time. The reason for rejection is factually incorrect. The bid was to be submitted by 23.11.2010 upto 3 PM. Though the petitioner submitted the same by that time, respondent No.1 refused to accept the same only to help respondent No.2. Thus, action of respondent No.1 was malafide. We find that the petitioner has raised disputed question of fact without even approaching the concerned authorities in the first 1 CWP No.21228 of 2010 instance. As per well known procedure of mandamus, before filing such a petition, concerned public authority must be called upon to remedy the alleged wrong. In these circumstances, the petition is dismissed without prejudice to the petitioner making an appropriate representation to the concerned authority. If any such representation is made, the same may be decided within one week from receipt thereof. (Adarsh Kumar Goel) Judge November 29, 2010 (Gurdev Singh) ‘gs’ Judge 2
