TANMOY PRAMANIK Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) MR Ghosh appearing for the petitioners in the WP under art.226 submits that a confusion has arisen because of certain empanelment conditions incorporated in the Government Order dated January 25, 2011 at p.17, and that the respondents' refusal to remove the confusion has led the petitioners to this Court.

(2.) THE order dated January 25, 2011 was issued regarding empanelment of suppliers intending to supply cooked diet to patients admitted to hospitals with the Health & Family Welfare Department of the Government of West Bengal. The petitioners claim that they all were empanelled, and that their empanelment is valid upto January 31, 2012.

(3.) I agree with Mr Sengupta appearing for the State that the confusion felt by the petitioners is an imaginary one. The condition concerned of the order is very clear. It provides that the empanelled intending suppliers, if willing to continue empanelment, must apply within the prescribed date. In the absence of any other date fixed by the respondents, the empanelled intending suppliers must treat January 31, 2012, when the empanelment in terms of the order is to expire, as the prescribed date.
