THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition Nos.10166, 12553 & 15012 of 2011 COMMON ORDER : In all the three writ petitions the parties are the same. In W.P.No.10166 of 2011 the petitioner has challenged the action of the respondents in issuing re-auction-cum-tender notification dated 02-04-2011 in respect of Bodasakurru Ferry in East Godavari District for the year 2011-2012. In W.P.No.12553 of 2011 it has challenged the action of the respondents in not confirming the bid of the petitioner pursuant to the auction held on 24-03-2011. In W.P.No.15012 of 2011 it has challenged the cancellation of the bid of the petitioner held in pursuance of the auction dated 24-03-2011. In view of the submissions made by the learned standing counsel Sri G.Elisha appearing for the 4th Respondent-Mandal Development Officer, Mandal Praja Parishad, Allavaram, East Godavari District, the matters need not be considered in extenso. The 4th respondent issued an auction-cum-tender notification dated 07-03-2011 inviting tenders for granting leasehold rights to collect tolls for the year 2011-2012. The petitioner became the highest bidder at Rs.35,50,000/- and deposited Rs.8,00,000/- as EMD. However, the bid was not confirmed on the ground that the bid amount fell short of 10% compared to the amount fetched in the year 2010-2011. In the meanwhile, the respondents issued re-auction-cum-tender notification dated 02-04-2011. Even as the writ petition challenging the said re-auction notification was pending, the auction held in favour of the petitioner was cancelled. He therefore filed these writ petitions. During the course of hearing the learned standing counsel appearing for the 4th respondent submits that even though for the second time the auction was notified, no bidders came forward and having waited for sufficient time the 4th respondent has taken a decision to re-call the cancellation orders and confirm the auction in favour of the petitioner. In view of the said statement conceding the case of the petitioner, these writ petitions are disposed of directing the respondents to re-call the orders cancelling the bid of the petitioner and accordingly confirm the auction in his favour. The Writ Petitions stand disposed of accordingly. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 24th June, 2011. skmr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition Nos.10166, 12553 & 15012 of 2011 Date : 24-06-2011 W.P.
