MHATRE, JJ. DATED: DATED: DATED: 10TH MARCH, 2008. 10TH MARCH, 2008. 10TH MARCH, 2008. P.C. P.C. P.C.: 1. The petitioner has come to this Court with a grievance that the respondent No.2 misrepresented to the participants like the petitioner that they are not going to proceed with the tender in question which was published though the petitioner was able to obtain a tender form but because of this misrepresentation did not participate in the process. 2. On the other hand, the petitioner has annexed a communication sent by it to the Manager of the respondent No.2 which is at Exh.C with a grievance that no party has tendered or submitted their respective bids 2 for Tender No.NMMT/20/2007-2008. It is thereafter that the petitioner has come to this Court when the tender was awarded in favour of the sole participant i.e. respondent No.3 and work order came to be issued to them, for appointing an officer to take action against the concerned officer for having manipulated the record in a form of an enquiry against respondent No.2 in respect of acceptance of the alleged tender. We find that the petitioner has come to this Court with vague allegations and his conduct is not above suspicious in initiating such a litigation. This is nothing but a clear cut abuse of process of law. Therefore, we dismiss the petition with costs which we quanfity at Rs.10,000/-. Cost to be paid to respondent No.2 within a period of four weeks from today. 3. Petition stands dismissed. (J.N. (J.N. (J.N. PATEL, J.) PATEL, J.) PATEL, J.)
