WPA No. 30860 of 2024
Railtel Corporation of India Limited
Vs.
The Union of India and Others
Mr. Dyutimay Paul
... for the petitioner.
Affidavit of service filed in Court is taken
on record.
The present writ petition is filed at the
behest of the writ petitioner challenging the
tender process adopted by the respondent
authority.
It is said by the learned advocate on behalf
of the petitioner that although the writ petitioner
fulfilled the essential technical eligibility criteria
despite that his techno commercial bid against
the tender floated by the authority is rejected.
It is further contended by the learned
advocate that no reasons have been assigned by
the authority in rejecting his bid against the said
tender process.
It is said by the learned advocate that the
interim order may be passed as the service has
been effected upon the respondents but they did
not choose to appear at the time of hearing.
2
He banked upon a decision passed by a
Single Bench of this Court in case of Texmaco
Rail and Engineering Limnited and Another
Vs. Union of India reported in 2023 SCC
OnLine Cal 1908.
It is the contention of the learned Advocate
that the view which has already been taken by
the learned Single Bench in the aforesaid
decision, the same may be followed in the case.
It appears that in disposing of the writ
petition, the presence of the respondent authority
is required, if they choose to appear after service
is effected upon them.
Accordingly, the prayer of passing interim
order made by the petitioner, at this stage, is
hereby not acceded to.
Let the matter appear before the Regular
Bench within one week after reopening of this
Court following Christmas Vacation.
