!" #$%& '(0 e.tender for appointment of handling and transport contractor at the centres of Kaithal, Pai, Pundri, Rajaund and Siwan. The technical bid of the petitioner was rejected, as such he stood disqualified and the tender was allotted to respondent No.3. The allotment of work contract in favour of respondent No.3 on the basis of the bid offered by him has been challenged by the petitioner mainly on the ground that the bid submitted by him was in violation of the terms and conditions of the tender notice. 4.

In our considered opinion, the petitioner will have no locus to challenge the allotment of work contract to respondent No.3 inasmuch as once his technical bid was rejected and he was disqualified which was not challenged by him and allowed the same to attain finality, as such he was excluded from the consideration zone.

5.

Once the petitioner lacks locus to challenge the allotment of work in favour of respondent No.3, there is no other option but to dismiss the writ petition. The petition accordingly stands dismissed.
