THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4147 of 2011 ORDER: Srikakulam Municipality issued a tender notice, dated 01.02.2011, for selecting agencies to collect tax within the municipal limits. One of the conditions is that a tenderer must enclose solvency certificate in relation to the property held by him within the municipal limits. The petitioner obtained a certificate from the Tahsildar, Srikakulam. Her grievance is that respondent No.1 is not acting upon the solvency certificate on the ground that it was issued by the Tahsildar. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The interest of respondent No.1 is to ensure that a selected tenderer is solvent enough to meet any eventuality or to bear the financial burden. It should not make any difference whether the certificate is issued by the Tahsildar or the Municipality itself. It is not the case of the respondents that the petitioner does not own the property within the municipal limits. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and the respondents are directed to accept the solvency certificate produced by the petitioner and consider his tender. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:25.02.2011 kdl
