Judgment :- 1. Heard the learned counsels appearing for the parties concerned. 2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner had stated that he had submitted his tender for running a canteen in the first respondent Institute, for the year 2011-2012. The tender was held, on 22.7.2011, and it had been opened on the same day. The Tender Committee had confirmed the tender in favour of the third respondent, on 23.8.2011. 3. It had been further stated that even though the petitioner had submitted his tender, it had not been considered by the Tender Committee. However, the third respondent had been given the contract to run the canteen, from 23.8.2011, arbitrarily, without following the procedures established by law. 4. Per contra, the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the respondents had submitted that the petitioner had not submitted his tender and therefore, the claims made by the petitioner are incorrect and false. The letter, dated 27.7.2011, said to have been issued to the petitioner, by the Senior Administrative Officer of the first respondent Institute, is a forged one and therefore, this Court may not consider the same in support of the claims made by the petitioner. 5. The learned counsels appearing on behalf of the respondents had also submitted that the contract, to run the canteen in the first respondent institute, had been granted in favour of the third respondent, on 23.8.2011, and thereafter, the third respondent had been running the canteen, till date. He had further stated that it would be open to the petitioner to participate in the tender, in respect of the canteen in question in the first respondent institute, for the year 2012-2013, if he is eligible to participate in the same, as per the applicable tender conditions. 6. In view of the submissions made on behalf of the respondents 1 and 2 that the petitioner could participate in the tender to be conducted for the year 2012-2013, in respect of the canteen in question, the writ petition stands closed, as no further orders are necessary in the present writ petition. No costs.
