Belosay, Government Pleader, for respondent No.3. CORAM: H.L. GOKHALE, Ag. C.J., & V.M. KANADE, J. DATE: JANUARY 18, 2007. P.C. Heard Mr. Rao in support of the petition. Mr. K.K. Singhvi appears for respondent Nos.1 and 2 and Mr. K.R. Belosay for respondent No.3. 2. The petition seeks to challenge the proposal of the Municipal Commissioner for modification of the tender conditions with respect to furnishing of additional security deposit by the contractors for the work above Rs. 5 crores. The condition is being amended to provide that where certain additional works are to be given to the same contractors, -2- further additional amounts towards deposit would not be insisted. It will have to be seen that at any point of time whatever security deposit is required for work of five crores, such security deposit would have to be retained with the Corporation. We do not think that this is a matter where any third person should interfere. No reason to entertain. Petition is dismissed. ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE V.M. KANADE, J.
