WP(C) 3978/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE H.N. SARMA Heard Mr. R. Goswami, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Ms. A. Ajitsariya, learned Standing Cousnel, GMDA as well as Ms. H. Phukan, lear ned Addl. State Counsel for the State respondents. The grievance of the petitioner is that he is offering the respondent authority to install new Auto-Manual Microprocessor Traffic Signal System in 17 Nos. of tr affic points at Guwahati but in the meantime, GMDA, has issued an advertisement dated 12/8/09 inviting all eligible candidates to supply the same. The petition er has objected the said advertisement dated 12/8/09 inviting such proposal. Prima-facie, I do not find any illegality and irregularity in making such advert isement by the authority which would open the choice of the authority for allott ing the signal system of the selected points in spite of confining it only to th e petitioner’s proposal and the Public Law demands such an action. However, the petitioner has written a letter to the Chief Executive Officer, GMD A, on 9/9/09 which was the last date for submission of the bids. It appears tha t in the meantime, the offers have already been opened. In view of the facts and situation of the case, it is observed that it will be o pen for the respondent authority, more particularly, Respondent No.7, to answer the letter dated 9/9/09 submitted by the petitioner, in the manner he likes. With the above observation, this writ petition stands disposed of.
