J U D G M E N T
Almost identical facts are involved in these two writ
petition. Therefore they have been heard together and are
disposed of by a common judgment.
2. I will refer to the facts in writ petition 17165 of 2009 for
the sake of convenience.
3. The petitioner, a partnership firm was carrying on
business of dealers of engineering, Survey, Drawing, Scientific
instruments, Stationery and allied products. First respondent
called for tender for supply of some Tools and Equipments as
evidenced by Ext.P1 and P2. P3 to P5 quotations were submitted
by the petitioner. The terms were found to be acceptable and P6
to P8 purchase orders were placed by first respondent. Certain
materials in terms of the supply orders were supplied as well.
According to the petitioner, the first respondent then proceeded to
cancel all the orders as per Ext.P12. This has been challenged in
the writ petition.
WPC. 17165 & 17177 OF 2009
: 2 :
4. Ext.P12 has been challenged in the writ petition on
various grounds. I am of the view that the petitioner shall first
approach the first respondent for revocation of Ext.P12. The first
respondent shall then consider the question of revoking Ext.P12.
If a revival of the original purchase orders can be brought about,
then it is open to the first respondent to do so.
5. Accordingly if the petitioners file a detailed
representation before the first respondent, in the manner
aforementioned, the first respondent shall look into the same and
after notice to the petitioner take appropriate decision on such
representation within one month from the date of receipt of the
representation along with copy of the judgment and copy of the
writ petitions.
Writ petition is disposed of as above.
(V.GIRI, JUDGE)
