State of Haryana and others. -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present:- Mr. H.S. Dhandi, Advocate for the petitioner. --- ORDER: 1. This petition seeks quashing of order dated 27.10.2009, Annexure P-6, allotting work to respondent No.3 in pursuance of Tender Notice for construction of CID Security Lines in Civil Secretariat, Chandigarh. 2. Case of the petitioner is that the petitioner offered lower rates for executing the work but by negotiations, the work was allotted to respondent No.3. The petitioner was asked to reduce the rates but the petitioner expressed its inability to do so to maintain quality. The negotiations were required to be held only with the petitioner, as per instructions of Central Vigilance Commission dated 18.11.1998, Annexure P-3. CWP No.17255 of 2009 3. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 4. It is well settled that unless award of the contract was malafide or illegal, the Court may not interfere with the same. Admittedly, the petitioner was also given opportunity to reduce the rates and finally award of contract had been given at rates lower than the rates quoted by the petitioner. There is no allegation of malafide. 5. In view of above, we do not find any ground for interference. 6. The petition is dismissed.
