Mr. N.B.Patil, Assistant Govt. Pleader for State. ............................ CORAM : B.R. GAVAI AND S.V. GANGAPURWALA, JJ. DATE: 03/08/2010 PER COURT : 1. The petitioners seek directions against respondent nos. 2 and 3 to allot the plots to the respective petitioners as per the advertisement from the land S.No. 191 and 29/1. 2. It is the case of the petitioners that pursuant to the tenders advertised by the respondents, they had applied, they were the highest bidders, still thereafter no further 2 process was done. After a long period, in the year 1998, the respondents instead of allotting the plots to the petitioners, issued fresh advertisement inviting fresh tenders. 3. Mr. Dhorde, the learned counsel for the petitioners contended that as they were the highest bidders, they were entitled to the said plots. The highest bidders of residential plots were allotted the plots but in case of the petitioners, fresh tenders were issued. 4. It is the settled position of law that unless and until the offer made by the petitioners are accepted by the respondents, there is no contractual relationship between the parties, interalia no legal right is created in favour of the petitioners. When the petitioners do not have any legal vested rights, the petitioners do not have any right to claim the said plots. 5. If the petitioners would desire, they may make an application to the respondents and the respondents would consider the same in accordance with law. 6. In view of the fact that the petitioners do not possess any legal right, the Writ Petition 3 is dismissed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. [ S.V. GANGAPURWALA ] [ B.R.
