THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/10/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 29058 OF 2007 H = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 1st October, 2007 J U D G M E N T The prayer made in this writ petition is to direct the respondents to issue tender forms to the petitioner and permit him to participate in the tender proceedings. It is the case of the petitioner that he is eligible to get the tender forms and that he is not suffering from any ineligibility like blacklisting. 2. If that be so, there is no reason why the petitioner should not be issued tender forms. Accordingly, I dispose of the writ petition directing that the petitioner, if not ineligible to get tender forms by any rules framed by the respondents, shall be issued tender forms and permitted to participate in the tender. I clarify that this order does not have the effect of declaring eligibility of the petitioner to be awarded the tender, but is limited to be supplied tender forms. Petitioner's eligibility to get tender, if he submits an offer, is a matter to be decided by the respondents separately. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
