The representatives of other bidders also waive<br \/>\nservice of Rule.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tHeard<br \/>\nthe learned counsel for the parties on the question of interim<br \/>\nrelief.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tMr<br \/>\nYN Oza for petitioner ?  Shri Datari Matsyodhyog Seva Sahakari<br \/>\nMandali Ltd. in Special Civil Application No. 5123 of 2008 states<br \/>\nthat last year  Nilkamal Ltd. had sold insulated ice boxes of the<br \/>\nblow mould category to Mundra Enterprise for a price of Rs.686\/-. The<br \/>\nrepresentative of  Nilkamal Ltd. &#8211; Mr Jignay H Dave who is present<br \/>\nbefore the Court was put a specific query ?  whether similar<br \/>\ninsulated boxes were sold by Nilkamal Ltd. to Mundra Enterprise at<br \/>\nthe said rate. Mr Dave for Nilkamal Ltd. answered in the affirmative,<br \/>\nbut further added that the price was  exclusive of taxes and the<br \/>\ntaxes were to the extent of 16.48% excise duty plus other taxes. Mr<br \/>\nDave further submits that the prices of raw materials i.e. the<br \/>\nplastic granules have gone up substantially in the last one year.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIt<br \/>\nis also the case of Mr Oza for the petitioner that Nilkamal Ltd. is<br \/>\nsupplying similar insulated ice boxes with 50 litres capacity to the<br \/>\nSpecial Commissioner of Fisheries, Government of Tamilnadu,  Chennai<br \/>\nat the rate of Rs.700\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tIt<br \/>\nis pertinent to note that these very boxes purchased by Mundra<br \/>\nEnterprise from Nilkamal Ltd. were sold by Mundra Enterprise to the<br \/>\nGovernment at the rate of Rs.2000\/-  per box plus taxes and the stand<br \/>\nof the State Government is that the State Government had found the<br \/>\nrates to be very high and, therefore, it wanted to invite fresh<br \/>\ntenders but because of the intervention of the Court, the boxes were<br \/>\npurchased at the rate of Rs.2000\/- per box plus taxes. Today our<br \/>\nattention is invited to the rates quoted by the parties in their<br \/>\ntenders as under :-\n<\/p>\n<p>\tMangal<br \/>\nShree Creation Pvt. Ltd.\t\t\tRs.2355<\/p>\n<p>\tPrince<br \/>\nPlastics International Pvt. Ltd.\t\tRs.2620<\/p>\n<p>\tSintex<br \/>\nIndustries Ltd.\t\t\t\t\tRs.2670<\/p>\n<p>\tNilkamal<br \/>\nLtd.\t\t\t\t\t\tRs.2692<\/p>\n<p>6.\tWhile<br \/>\njoining the four bidders and issuing notice to them on 27.3.2008, it<br \/>\nwas specifically indicated in our order that the notice shall state<br \/>\nthat all the parties may be required to participate in the inter-se<br \/>\nbidding which shall take place before this Court today i.e. on<br \/>\n29.3.2008. When the Court called upon the parties to participate in<br \/>\nthe inter-se bidding, the representatives of all the fours parties<br \/>\nstuck to the rates quoted by them in their bids.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tHaving<br \/>\nheard the learned counsel for the parties, we are of the view that<br \/>\nprima-facie there seems to be some substance in the case of the<br \/>\npetitioner i.e. Shri Datari Matsyodhyog Seva Sahakari Mandali Ltd.<br \/>\nthat the parties have prima-facie formed a cartel which is going to<br \/>\nadversely affect the public interest.  We find that the Government<br \/>\nproposes to purchase 40,000 such insulated boxes at the rate of<br \/>\nRs.2355 per box which will come to  Rs.9.42 crores, and with taxes it<br \/>\nwill come to Rs.10,59,75,000\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tOrdinarily,<br \/>\nthis Court is not to sit in appeal over the decision of the<br \/>\nadministrative authorities in such matters. However, our attention is<br \/>\ninvited by Mr Nanavati and Mr Oza to higher price\/ lower price<br \/>\ncertificate  being insisted upon in such matters where a bidder is<br \/>\nrequired to certify that he\/they have not supplied or quoted for any<br \/>\nitem similar to the tender enquiry at prices lower than those quoted<br \/>\nfor the relevant items to any Government\/ Semi Government\/ Public \/<br \/>\nCharitable Trust Organization \/ Institution within a period of 180<br \/>\ndays preceding the last date of submission of the tender and further<br \/>\nundertaking that he\/they will not supply or quote for any item in<br \/>\ntender enquiry in question  at prices lower than those quoted for the<br \/>\nrelevant items to any Government\/ Semi Government\/ Public \/<br \/>\nCharitable Trust Organization \/ Institution within the period of<br \/>\nvalidity of the offer \/ rate contract. The certificate also requires<br \/>\nthe bidder to undertake to bring to the attention of the Director any<br \/>\nincidence of breach of any  of the above paras within 30 days from<br \/>\nthe occurrence of the breach and further undertake to refund\/<br \/>\nreimburse the difference which may arise due to breach of any of the<br \/>\nabove paras and that the decision of the Director as regards to the<br \/>\ndetermination of quantum payable shall be final.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tNothing<br \/>\nis shown as to why such a certificate was not incorporated in the<br \/>\nterms and conditions of the tender in question when the amount<br \/>\ninvolved is about Rs.10 crores.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.\tIn<br \/>\nSpecial Civil Application No.5123 of 2008, a cooperative society of<br \/>\nfishermen have raised certain issues. We are not interfering with the<br \/>\nview of the first respondent that only blow moulded insulated boxes<br \/>\nare required to be purchased. However, the manner in which the<br \/>\nbidding process has been carried out does not meet with our approval.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.\tAs<br \/>\nregards the submission of the learned Advocate General that the<br \/>\nallocation of grant of Rs.4.5 crores will lapse if the amount is not<br \/>\nspent by 31st March 2008, it is not indicated in the first<br \/>\nplace as to when the funds were allocated because if the funds were<br \/>\nallocated earlier, it was not necessary for respondent No.1 to wait<br \/>\ntill last week of March 2008 to undertake  the bidding process. Even<br \/>\nif there is any administrative difficulty on this issue, there is<br \/>\nnothing to prohibit respondent No.1 from moving the concerned<br \/>\nauthority for re-allocation of the same grant, which is often done in<br \/>\nsuch cases.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.\tIn<br \/>\nour view, therefore, the larger public interest demands that<br \/>\nrespondent No.1 be directed to issue a fresh tender notice inviting<br \/>\nbids for the insulated boxes as per the requirements  wherein the<br \/>\ncertificate as referred to hereinabove is insisted upon so that the<br \/>\nparties who have supplied in the past similar items at lower rates do<br \/>\nnot quote exorbitant amount while submitting their bids to the first<br \/>\nrespondent. The advertisement shall also specifically state that blow<br \/>\nmoulded insulated boxes of 50 litres capacity shall carry test report<br \/>\nfrom Central Institute of Fisheries Technology stating sea worthiness<br \/>\nand transport worthiness tests of the boxes. The advertisement shall<br \/>\nbe published within three weeks from today.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIt<br \/>\nis directed accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.\tIt<br \/>\nis clarified that as far as the petitioner in Special Civil<br \/>\nApplication No.5125 of 2008  is concerned, we are not interfering<br \/>\nwith the assessment made by respondent No.1 about the physical sample<br \/>\nsubmitted by the petitioner  However, when the fresh tender notice is<br \/>\nissued, the present petitioner  is not prohibited from submitting its<br \/>\n fresh tender along with such physical sample as it may choose to<br \/>\nproduce before the authority.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t(M.S.\n<\/p>\n<p>SHAH, J.)\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t(RAVI<br \/>\nR.
