Of<\/p>\n<p>course, another reason for disqualification has also been mentioned and that is<\/p>\n<p>the opinion of the Solicitor General on the subject.<\/p>\n<p>4.     The relevant portion of clause 1.5 of Section 2-B of Volume-I of the<\/p>\n<p>RFP Document reads as under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       &#8220;1.5 Any Applicant\/Bidder shall not have a conflict of<br \/>\n       interest (the &#8220;Conflict of Interest&#8221;) that affects the bidding<br \/>\n       process.

Initially, the learned counsel for the petitioner had pointed out that the<\/p>\n<p>disqualification was on the ground that one Mr Dattatray P. Mhaiskar owned<\/p>\n<p>shares in the companies constituting two consortiums who have applied<\/p>\n<p>separately. The two consortiums involved in the present petition are &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>(1) MEP-Ideal Toll Consortium which is comprised of (a) MEP Toll Road Pvt<\/p>\n<p>Ltd and (b) Ideal Toll and Infrastructure Pvt Ltd; and (2) IRB-MIPL<\/p>\n<p>Consortium which, in turn, is comprised of (a) IRB Infrastructure Developers<\/p>\n<p>Ltd and (b) Mhaiskar Infrastructure Pvt Ltd.            The initial objection and<\/p>\n<p>disqualification was with regard to the allegation that the said Mr Dattatray P.<\/p>\n<p>Mhaiskar had shares in each of the four constituent companies of the two<\/p>\n<p>consortiums and that insofar as IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd is<\/p>\n<p>concerned, he had a shareholding of 7.63 per cent which was in excess of the 5<\/p>\n<p>per cent limit prescribed in Clause 1.5(a). However, this argument has been<\/p>\n<p>given up by the respondents inasmuch as a plain reading of Clause 1.5(a) would<\/p>\n<p>show that the disqualification qua Mr Dattatray P. Mhaiskar could only apply if<\/p>\n<p>he held more than 5 per cent shares in a constituent of both the consortiums and<\/p>\n<p>not just in one of the consortiums.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">W.P.(C) No.2603\/2011                                                      Page 4 of 6<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p> 6.     The other ground for disqualification under Clause 1.5(a), according to<\/p>\n<p>the learned counsel for the respondent-MCD is that Ideal Toll and<\/p>\n<p>Infrastructure Pvt Ltd which is a constituent of MEP-Ideal Toll Consortium<\/p>\n<p>itself holds 7.63 per cent of the shares of IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd<\/p>\n<p>which is a constituent of IRB-MIPL Consortium and this, in itself, disqualifies<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner consortium (MEP-Ideal Toll Consortium) on the ground of<\/p>\n<p>\u201eConflict of Interest\u201f as contemplated under Clause 1.5(a) which has been set<\/p>\n<p>out above.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.     The learned counsel on behalf of the petitioner submitted that unless and<\/p>\n<p>until there was a countervailing ownership interest of a constituent of the other<\/p>\n<p>consortium in the petitioner consortium in excess of 5 per cent, the deeming<\/p>\n<p>provision of \u201eConflict of Interest\u201f would not get triggered.<\/p>\n<p>8.     We have heard the counsel for the parties on this aspect of the matter and<\/p>\n<p>upon a plain reading of Clause 1.5(a) we feel that the only interpretation that<\/p>\n<p>can be given to it is that when an applicant or its constituent, itself, has an<\/p>\n<p>ownership interest in another applicant or its constituent and that ownership<\/p>\n<p>interest is in excess of 5 per cent of the subscribed and paid up equity share<\/p>\n<p>capital then it shall be deemed to have a \u201eConflict of Interest\u201f. Admittedly,<\/p>\n<p>Ideal Toll and Infrastructure Pvt Ltd which is a constituent of MEP-Ideal Toll<\/p>\n<p>Consortium has an ownership interest of 7.63% in IRB Infrastructure<\/p>\n<p>Developers Ltd which is a constituent of the other consortium &#8211; IRB-MIPL<\/p>\n<p>Consortium. Hence, the deemed conflict of interest is triggered. It is with<\/p>\n<p>regard to this aspect of the matter that the MCD has ultimately disqualified the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner consortium on the basis of \u201eConflict of Interest\u201f.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.P.(C) No.2603\/2011                                                 Page 5 of 6<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p> 9.     Insofar as the plea of the disqualification under Clause 1.5(d) is<\/p>\n<p>concerned, we find that at this stage it would be very difficult to come to a<\/p>\n<p>concrete conclusion as to whether the \u201eConflict of Interest\u201f as stipulated therein<\/p>\n<p>is made out or not because there is no material before us to ascertain as to<\/p>\n<p>whether constituents of the consortiums had access to each others\u201f information<\/p>\n<p>or were in a position to influence the bidding of each other. Therefore, we are<\/p>\n<p>not in agreement, prima facie, with the submissions made by the learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the MCD on the applicability of Clause 1.5(d) of Section 2-B of the<\/p>\n<p>RFP Document. However, on the basis of the view taken by us in respect of<\/p>\n<p>Clause 1.5(a) we feel that the fact that Ideal Toll and Infrastructure Pvt Ltd<\/p>\n<p>holds 7.63 per cent shares of IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd and thereby<\/p>\n<p>holds shares in excess of the 5 per cent shares stipulated in Clause 1.5(a), is<\/p>\n<p>sufficient ground for disqualification of the petitioner consortium.<\/p>\n<p>10.    We may also point out that an identical provision (except that the<\/p>\n<p>stipulation with regard to shareholding was 1% and not 5% as in the present<\/p>\n<p>case) was considered in the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/11348680\/\">Navinya Buildcon Private Limited v.<\/p>\n<p>Union of India &amp; Others, W.P.<\/a>(C) No. 7181\/2009, decided on 08.04.2009, by<\/p>\n<p>a Division Bench of this court and a similar view was taken.<\/p>\n<p>11.    In view of the foregoing, the writ petition is dismissed and the interim<\/p>\n<p>order stands vacated.
