....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KARAMJIT SINGH

Present:

Mr. Shailendra Jain, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Sidharath Goyal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Ankur Mittal, Addl. A.G. Haryana.

Mr. Abhay Gupta, Advocate for Mr. Amar Vivek, Advocate for respondent no. 3. Mr. Balkar Singh, Advocate and Mr. Anshul Mangla, Advocate for the respondents no. 4 to 6. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) With the consent of learned counsel, main case is taken up for hearing today itself.

During the course of hearing, Mr. Jain, learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner shall be satisfied if a direction be given to respondent no. 1 to look into the entire matter in view of certain reports that companies i.e. respondents no. 4 & 5 have dubious background. According to him, while awarding the mining contract all these aspects need to be considered by the concerned authority.

Learned State counsel, on the other hand, submits that contract was awarded after conducting an open auction in which respondents no. 4 & 5 were successful. He, however, submits that State has no objection to consider the matter in light of contentions made by the petitioner and the materials on record.
