BY SRI. E.K.NANDA KUMAR, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.33593 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 14th November, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner applied for LPG Distributorship pursuant to the notification issued by the respondent as per Exhibit P1. Application was considered and the petitioner was later informed as per Exhibit P2 that the petitioner’s candidature is not found to be eligible for award for the reason that the Affidavit-A is not as per the format. This has been challenged by the petitioner 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner Sri.S.M. Prem, and learned standing counsel for the respondent Sri.E.K. Nandakumar. Learned counsel for the respondent produced before me a copy of the affidavit filed by the petitioner. There seems to have been a serious mistake therein where petitioner has referred to Bharath Petroleum Corporation instead of Indian Oil Corporation in the course of the declaration given by her in the application. W.P ( C) No.33593 of 2008 2 If that be so, in terms of clause 19 of the instructions to the bidders as contained in Exhibit P1, Corporation was justified in holding that petitioner’s candidature is not eligible for the award of tender. I find no error in the stand taken in this regard by the respondent. The writ petition is dismissed. (V.GIRI,JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No.33593 of 2008 3 W.P ( C) No.33593 of 2008 4
