It does not reflect the actual reasons for cancellation of the earlier tender, notified for the TASMAC Bar at Tirunelveli District and for the other bars mentioned in the order. 2.Learned counsel appearing for both the parties submitted that earlier when the abovesaid impugned proceeding was challenged in W.P.Nos.7355 to 7357 of 2011, this Court, by a common order, dated 01.07.2011, directed opening of the tender. 3.Mr.K.Mahendran, learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the TASMAC submitted that tender would be opened tomorrow. His submission is placed on record. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 4.Without going into the merits of the Writ Petitions, this Court is of the view that the impugned order has been passed contrary to the decision of the Supreme Court, wherein it is time and again reiterated, that the reasons should be the heart- beat of any administrative decision. As the order does not reflect the same, this Court is inclined to set aside the impugned order, directing re-tender for various TASMAC Shops with attached Bar. The respondents shall open the tender as directed by this Court, as stated supra, as expeditiously as possible, to avoid any delay in processing of the tenders. 5.In the result, the Writ Petition is allowed. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed. No costs. Sd/- Deputy Registrar (Accounts) / TRUE COPY / Assistant Registrar To: 1.
