WP(C) 3694/2002 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. RP Kakati, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. GN Sahewa lla, learned senior counsel appearing for the respondent ONGC. The petitioner, by the present petition, has challenged the order dated 22.2.201 0 passed by the General Manager(C) LM-(W), ONGC informing the petitioner that - (a) no tender documents in future would be issued to him; (b) that his name has been removed/cancelled from the bid of ARC 2009-11 (Tender No. RC2SC08123) with immediate effect. It is the contention of the petitioner that though pursuant to the show cause no tice dated 21.4.2009 issued by the Enquiry Officer asking the petitioner to show cause as to why his name should not put on holiday for a period of two years fo r further business with the ONGC on the allegation of the Assam Public Works Dep artment relating to submission of forged documents, he submitted his reply reque sting the Enquiry Officer to furnish a copy of the communication furnished by th e Assam Public Works Department together with the documents which were allegedly forged by the petitioner, the respondent despite receipt of such request dated 25.4.2009 asking for copies of the said documents, so as to enable him to make f ull and complete representation, has passed the order on 22.2.2010, without supp lying such documents. According to the petitioner, he has been denied reasonable opportunity for making representation by not supplying the required documents b efore passing the impugned order. The respondent ONGC in the additional affidavit filed on 24.6.2010, copy of whic h is made available to this Court by Mr. Sahewalla, learned senior counsel, has stated that the ONGC vide communication dated 26.5.2010 has furnished the requir ed documents as sought for by the petitioner, asking him to reply within 10 days which however, has not been replied by the petitioner as the writ petition is p ending. The said position has not been disputed by Mr. Kakati, learned counsel for the p etitioner. The respondent by supplying the documents and asking the petitioner t o show cause has redressed the petitioner’s grievance. In view of the above, the present writ petition is disposed of with the observat ion that the petitioner within two weeks from today may file reply to the show c ause notice. The ONGC authority shall within two weeks thereafter decide the mat ter afresh. It is needless to say that in the event of failure of the petitioner to submit t he reply within the aforesaid period of two weeks, it will be open to the respon dents to pass the order in the absence of any such reply. Till such decision is taken, the interim order dated 12.5.2010 shall continue.
