RATAN KUMAR GUPTA Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE main grievance of the writ petitioners in all these writ petitions is almost common. These writ petitions are, thus, heard together with the consent of the parties and the same are being disposed of by this common order.

(2.) THE writ petitioners are contractors. They are aggrieved by the decision of the Tender Committee, whereby the allotment of the works has been made in respect to the tender invited by the Drinking Water and Sanitation Department, Government of Jharkhand, Ranchi, being No. 1 of 2006 -2007.

(3.) THE petitioners were in the hope of getting the works in accordance with the said ratio/decision. But deviating from the said decision, either no work was allotted to the eligible petitioners or the works allotted to some of them were not in accordance with the proper ratio. On the contrary, works were allotted to the private respondents even in contravention of the terms of the NIT.
