SUKHDEV SINGH Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE respondents floated a tender notice regarding work of transportation of foodgrains and labour/cartage/storage point/open plinths and P.E.G. Warehouses for purchase agencies of Punjab Government and FCI for the year 2014 -15 for Rabi and Kharif crops from 1.4.2014 to 31.3.2015. It is not in dispute that the tender as floated referred to the tender forms for a composite work. However, the petitioner submitted a tender only for the labour work.

(2.) THE petitioner filed CWP No. 7111 of 2014 making a grievance that the tenders which were opened on 25.3.2014 found the petitioner's tender most competitive for 7 out of 25 Mandies, but in respect of labour work. He claims that on approaching the respondents, he was informed to get permission from Director, PUNGRAIN while no such condition was imposed in the tender and, thus, served a legal notice dated 2.4.2014 on respondent No. 5 -District, Food & Supply Controller, Sangrur. This Court disposed of the writ petition on 11.4.2014 with a direction to examine the legal notice and to communicate a reasoned decision to the petitioner thereafter.

(3.) IT is the aforesaid decision which is now sought to be assailed in the present writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
