On previous date of hearing, the following order was passed:- "1.

The Petitioner's bid has been rejected on the ground of pendency of FIR No. 10/2024 registered against the Petitioner at Police Station Anti-Corruption Branch under the provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

2.

The learned senior counsel representing the Petitioner submits that two different Division Benches of this Court have formed separate opinion with regard to legality of a similar clause stipulating ineligibility of a bidder if any FIR is registered against it.
