For the respondents : Mr.Kundan Bahadur Singh, S.C. 22. ----- 02/ 07.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State of Bihar. 2. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging the emergent notice inviting quotation as published in newspapers ‘Hindustan’, ‘Rashtriya Sahara’ and ‘Aaj’ of Patna on 28.03.2011 issued under the signature of the Electrical Executive Engineer, Electrical Estimating Division No.-I, Building Construction Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna so far its terms and conditions are concerned. 3. The only objection of the petitioner is with regard to two terms and conditions provided in the said notice, namely (i) the quotationer must have office/branch office and service centre at Patna - 2 - and (ii) the quotationer must be authorised from Godrej/ Boycee Manufacturing Company Limited. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that by the aforesaid conditions the tenders would be confined only to a choosen few and the competitiveness and the revenue would be seriously affected. He further submits that if these two terms and conditions would not be mentioned, the Committee would have greater option for choosing a proper quotationer. 4. From the averments made by learned counsel for the parties and from the materials on record, it is quite apparent that the authorities were quite justified in asking for the best and there was no occasion for allowing spurious and sub-standard quotationers. Furthermore, it was essential that the quotationers must have office and service centre at Patna so that the Electrical Estimating Division No.I, Building Construction Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna could have a check upon such concerns for better services. Furthermore, although the requirement was for newly constructed Integrated Check Post at Dobhi in the district of Gaya, but the entire work was being supervised by the Electrical Estimating Division No.I, Building Construction Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 5. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, this court neither finds any merit in this writ petition, nor does it find any reason to interfere with the steps taken by the authorities with respect to the aforesaid matter. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. Sunil (S. N. Hussain, J.)
