Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has made various submissions to indicate that the period of debarment is disproportionate to the acts of the petitioner. He submits that under almost similar circumstances, the Court in the case of GA Digital Web Word Pvt. Ltd. v. Group General Manager Telecommunications Consultants India Ltd.1 has reduced the period of debarment to the extent already undergone. 2.

He also relies on an Office Memorandum dated 02.11.2021 and submits that as per Clause (iii) therein, a procuring entity may debar a bidder or any of its successors, from participating in any procurement process undertaken by it, for a period not exceeding two years, if it determines that 1 2024 SCC OnLine Del 2898 The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

The aforesaid submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner are opposed by learned counsel for the respondent. 4.

The Court, finds that the debarment of the petitioner is based on cogent findings and the same does not call for any interference.

If such a representation is made, the respondent may consider it appropriately with due expedition looking at the overall facts and circumstances, including the period of debarment already undergone by the petitioner.

With the aforesaid observations, the instant petition stands disposed of.
