W.P.(C) 563/2020 3.

This is a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, arising from a tender issued by the respondent.

4.

In this case, a tender was invited on 13.12.2019. Consequent to that, a prebid meeting of the stakeholders was held on 23.12.2019. The grievance of the petitioner is that the result of the pre-bid meeting is not known to the petitioner and the respondent is now inviting bids, with the last date as 16.01.2020. Thus, according to the petitioner, it is unclear as to what the outcome of the pre-bid meeting was; and as to whether the respondent considered the matters raised by them in the pre-bid meeting. 5.

Mr. Satyakam, learned Additional Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent, who enters appearance on an advance copy, submits that this

petition is premature. He submits that no final decision has been taken in the matter and the decision on the issues discussed at the pre-bid meeting would be duly considered by the respondent. Moreover, the bidding date is being extended from 16.01.2020 to 27.01.2020. 6.

Mr. K.B. Upadhyaya, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner states that, in view of what is stated by the respondent, he does not wish to press this petition at this stage but would seek liberty to approach this court again, in case the petitioner has any grievance. 7.

Mr. Upadhyay however submits that in case a corrigendum is issued one or two days before 27.01.2020 (the extended date), the petitioner may not get any time to challenge the same. In response, learned counsel for the respondent submits that the respondent will ensure a gap of minimum 10 days between the date of issuing any corrigendum and the last date of submission of bids.

8.

Taking on record the foregoing statement made on behalf of the respondent, the writ petition and CM APPL. 1514/2020 are dismissed as not pressed. Liberty, as prayed for, is granted to the petitioner. G.S.SISTANI, J ANUP JAIRAM BHAMBHANI, J JANUARY 15, 2020/ck/2/ W.P.(C) 563/2020 2/2
