The petitioner appears to have approached the respondent for issuing tender form.

The matter was passed over and the learned Government Advocate was directed to take instructions from the respondent. When the matter was called at 2.15 p.m., learned Government Advocate on instructions from the Divisional Accountant, Highways (Constructions and Maintenance), Subramaniapuram, Trichy, submitted that the respondent is prepared to give tender forms to the petitioner, in case, he approaches the said authority. Accordingly, the matter was once again passed over, so as to enable the petitioner to approach the authority and to receive the tender form. 4.When the matter was taken up again at 3.45 p.m., the learned counsel for the petitioner on instructions from the petitioner submitted that inspite of his appearance before the respondent as well as the Divisional Accountant, they have not issued the tender form. Therefore, I have once again directed the learned Additional Government Pleader to contact the respondent. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 5.Subsequently, the learned Additional Government Pleader informed that the tender forms were given to the petitioner and he can take part in the tender.
