IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8014 of 2009 'HUMLOG TRUST' THROUGH ITS ASSOCIATE MEMBER, SYED ZAFAR HASAN, S/O SYED MUZIBUL HASAN, HAVING ITS OFFICE AT 133 P.O. + P.S. PATLIPUTRA COLONY, DISTRICT-PATNA. -PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR, THROUGH ITS CHIEF SECRETARY, OLD SECRETARIAT BUILDING, PATNA-1. 2. THE SECRETARY, BUILDING CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA. -RESPONDENTS ******* For the Petitioner : M/s Anil Kumar Upadhyay & L.B. Singh For the State : Mr. Vikas Kumar, AC to Adv.General 6 31.08.2009 Heard Mr. Anil Kumar Upadhyay, for the petitioner and Mr. Vikas Kumar, for the respondents. This Public Interest Litigation has been filed for issuing appropriate writ in the nature of mandamus or writ of certiorari for quashing the order for nomination of IL & FS Property Management Services Ltd. for the purpose of looking after the maintenance of New Secretariat and Old Secretariat without inviting any tender. It is further alleged that rules were not followed while awarding contract and the contract was awarded at an inflated rate. It appears that, in 2 the meantime, the terms of contract has expired and the counsel representing the State submitted that decision has already been taken not to renew the contract. In these circumstances, it is not necessary to go into the irregularities raised in this writ petition. However, it is left open to the present petitioner to file an appropriate representation before the Lok Ayukta and if any such petition is filed alleging any irregularity, it would be open to the Lok Ayukta to take appropriate action. It is also hoped and expected that in future no such work should be allotted without justifiable reason and without following the principle of calling a tender or any other policy available. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of. (P.K. Misra, CJ.) (Anjana Prakash, J.) AAhmad 3
