1 wp-6686-10 pdp IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 6686 OF 2010 Sharad Fisheries Co-operative Society Ltd. .. Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra and ors. .. Respondents Mr. Anand S. Kulkarni for petitioner. Mrs. M. P. Thakur, AGP for respondent nos.1 and 2. Mr. Nitin Jamdar for respondent no.3. CORAM: B. H. MARLAPALLE & U. D. SALVI, JJ. DECEMBER 14, 2010. P.C. Mr. Nitin Jamdar, the learned counsel appearing for the Municipal Council (respondent no.3) has received written instructions from the said Council and a copy of the same is placed before us. The tender dated 13/8/2010 had quoted the minimum bid of 2 wp-6686-10 Rs.15 lakhs and on 21/8/2010 when the auction was scheduled to take place, the Council realized that there was no tender above the minimum price and all of them had quoted less than Rs.15 lakhs. Consequently, the auction could not take place and the fresh tender will not be required to be invited on account of the water level in the tank. The learned counsel further states that the fresh bids may be invited only after the rainy season in June 2011 starts. If that be so, this petition does not survive any more and we have noted down a statement that in the current season there would not be any tender inviting bids by the Municipal Council till the next rainy season. Petition is disposed as infructuous. (U.D. SALVI, J.) (B. H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
