Mr. K.K.Sinha, Advocate For the BMSICL :
Mr. Lalit Kishore, Sr. Advocate ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NANI TAGIA ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) Date : 26-07-2024 The petitioner has filed the above writ petition seeking interference to the empanelment of Respondent Nos. 5 to 14 through NIT No. BMSIC/20045/02-2023/01. It is asserted that though the Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) was published Online, it was not accessible and the grievance seems to be that the petitioner, who also provides manpower services through outsourcing could not apply under the e-tender. While asserting that the e-tender uploaded was not accessible, the petitioner also contends that despite his level best, he could not apply for under the e-tender.
The petitioner is also said to have approached the respondent authority and made complaint in this regard, upon which, the respondents informed him that they are not proceeding with the NIT. The contentions are mutually destructive, since if NIT was not accessible, the petitioner would have had no knowledge of the same.
2. We specifically queried the learned Counsel for the
3/5 petitioner as to his complaint against the party respondents impleaded, whose empanelment has been challenged in the writ petition and the learned Counsel for the petitioner pointed out Paragraph-10 of the writ petition, which is extracted hereunder:- "10.That it is submitted that for consideration of this by this hon'ble court the irregularities committed in empanelment of agencies for outsourcing different job profile under the health are given below as follows:- (i) That it is submitted that BMSCIL (Respondent No.4) itself published the tender and did not empanel it in its own office this raised doubt in fair manner and transparency in empanelment of agencies.
(ii) That respondent no.4 (BMSCIL) has given the format in the tender asking declaration from bidder regarding ongoing litigations in which promoter (S) / direction (S) are involved but without enquiry/ verification such agencies have been empanelled who have not mentioned the list of cases pending against them.
(iii) That it is submitted that as per tender about 50,000/- workers are required. There are more than hundreds registered agencies who are interested to work but without considering this fact that it will difficult to provide the required workers through only ten agencies. This creates doubt in empanelment of the said agency.
(iv) That it is submitted that respondent no.4 without getting the experience certificate or verification empanelled the respondent no. 5 to 14.
4/5
3. We find the above allegations to be either incomprehensible or untenable for no specifics having been pointed out. But for asserting that there are list of cases pending against the respondents, not even one is mentioned. Again it is alleged blandly, that they do not have the manpower as required in the NIT. The petitioner obviously has also not applied under the NIT, which was issued long back. If the petitioner had approached the respondent complaining that he could not upload the tender, then he should have approached this Court immediately. After the entire tendering process is completed, the petitioner has raised untenable and unsubstantiated contentions, which we find to be a mala fide exercise and a clear abuse of process of this Court.
4. We dismiss the writ petition with a cost of Rs. 5000/- to be paid by the petitioner to the Bihar State Legal Services Authority. The said amount will have to be paid within a period of two weeks and if not, the Bihar State Legal Services Authority shall be entitled to proceed for recovery by taking measures similar to recovery of arrears due on land through the District Magistrate, in which event the petitioner shall be liable for the charges incurred for making such recovery, which have to be recovered by the State.
