Khandewale, Advocate for Respondent no.3 in W.P.No. 6019/10. CORAM : B.P.DHARMADHIKARI & P.D. KODE, JJ. DATED : JULY 08, 2011 Heard. Challenge is to advertisement dated 8.12.2010 by which a condition incorporated in earlier advertisements has been deleted. As per those earlier advertisements and the condition appearing, the Chemists like petitioners could have quoted for only one of the groups/areas and not for all three groups or areas. In last such advertisement dated 8.12.2010, the said condition has been deleted and, therefore, Chemists can apply for all three areas. 2 Advocate Shri Parchure as also Advocate Shri Bhattad have attempted to urge that said deletion is with oblique motive. During arguments, reference was made to tender already granted in response to first advertisement published on 20.6.2010 and work allotted thereunder to one Royal Medical Shoppy, Nagpur. Advocate Smt. Joshi appearing for respondents no.1 and 2 and Advocate Shri Khandewale for respondent no.3 in Writ Petition No. 6019/2010 have also attempted to justify the deletion of condition. Royal Medical Shoppy is not party in present matter and the petitioners have not responded to advertisement dated 8.12.2010. The petition is, therefore, premature at least at this stage. We, therefore, permit petitioners to submit their tenders in response to advertisement dated 8.12.2010 if not already submited, as orders of status quo granted by this Court were operating. The petitioners are free to submit their bids within a period of two weeks from today. It is open to respondents no.1 and 2 thereafter to evaluate all bids received by it or then to decide to invite fresh bids in accordance with law. If in future petitioners are aggrieved, they are free to approach this Court in the matter. All contentions raised by the petitioners and respondents, are kept open. With these observations, present writ petitions are disposed of. No costs. JUDGE JUDGE halwai
