Petitioner submits that it is a consortium engaged in<\/p>\n<p>construction of Hydro Electric Power Stations. The 1st respondent had<\/p>\n<p>invited tenders by Ext.P1 for the execution of Barapole Small H.E. Project<\/p>\n<p>21 MW (3X7 MW).         Pursuant to Ext.P1, through its leader, petitioner<\/p>\n<p>submitted its bid along with a DD for Rs. 5 lakhs, being the EMD specified,<\/p>\n<p>copy of which is Ext.P1(a). Subsequently Ext.P2 proceedings, the work<\/p>\n<p>was ordered to be re-tendered and Ext.P3 is the re-tender notice that was<\/p>\n<p>published by the respondents. According to the petitioner there were few<\/p>\n<p>variations in the terms of the tender and the main complaint is regarding<\/p>\n<p>WPC No. 33318\/07<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                        :2 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>fixation of Rs.151.45 lakhs, as the EMD, against Rs. 5 lakhs in Ext.P1.<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner has a case that this revision is done with malafide intentions.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to Ext.P3, petitioner submitted its tender, with Ext.P4 covering<\/p>\n<p>letter, requesting to treat the same as a continuation of the earlier tender.<\/p>\n<p>At the time when the tender was opened on 10.10.2007, in reply to a<\/p>\n<p>querry, petitioner&#8217;s representative requested the respondents to adjust the<\/p>\n<p>balance EMD from the amount of Rs.189 lakhs due to the leader of the<\/p>\n<p>consortium, towards the Kuttiadi Augmentation Scheme.          Immediately<\/p>\n<p>thereafter petitioner sent Ext.P5 telegram and Ext.P6 letter, with the<\/p>\n<p>aforesaid request. To contend that amount is due to it, petitioner is relying<\/p>\n<p>on Ext.P7, an order issued by the respondent Board and it is also stated<\/p>\n<p>that Rs. 15 lakhs deposited by the petitioner as EMD for three other<\/p>\n<p>tenders are still being illegally retained by the Board.<\/p>\n<p>       3.   A statement and a counter affidavit have been filed by the<\/p>\n<p>respondents. According to the respondents, they do not owe any amount<\/p>\n<p>to the petitioner or its leader.     In so far as the amounts due towards<\/p>\n<p>Kuttiadi Augmentation Scheme is concerned, it is their specific case that<\/p>\n<p>after the judgment of the Supreme Court in Kerala State Electricity<\/p>\n<p>Board and another v. Kurien E. Kalathil &amp; Others (2000(6) SCC<\/p>\n<p>WPC No. 33318\/07<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     :3 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>293) they have paid the full amount towards labour escalation charges<\/p>\n<p>with interest the details of which are given in the affidavit. In addition to<\/p>\n<p>this, they would also state that towards     C.C 1 to 88, they have paid<\/p>\n<p>Rs.26,87,37,815.    It is their case that for the balance work for which<\/p>\n<p>supplemental agreement was not executed, full payment has been made<\/p>\n<p>towards CC 1 to 13 and 95% of the value of the work done in respect of<\/p>\n<p>CC 14 to 17 also has been paid. Thus according to the respondents, they<\/p>\n<p>have paid full amount due to the petitioner and nothing more is due. They<\/p>\n<p>would therefore contend that since EMD specified has not been deposited<\/p>\n<p>by the petitioner, the tender submitted is invalid. Regarding the EMD<\/p>\n<p>specified, it is stated that the Board had by order dated 28.9.2006,<\/p>\n<p>constituted a Sub Committee to revise tender conditions and contracts and<\/p>\n<p>that the Sub Committee had submitted its report which was adopted by<\/p>\n<p>the Board, which issued Ext.R1(b) order. It is stated that for any tender<\/p>\n<p>invited after issuing Ext.R1(b), EMD has to be as per Ext.R1(b) and that<\/p>\n<p>since Ext.P3 was issued after the revisions of norms, EMD has been fixed<\/p>\n<p>as decided in Ext.R1(b).\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.     In this writ petition, though averments are made that the<\/p>\n<p>revision in the tender conditions are made with malafide intentions to help<\/p>\n<p>WPC No. 33318\/07<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    :4 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>another tenderer, petitioner has not impleaded the persons against whom<\/p>\n<p>this allegations are made. That apart, during the hearing, the contentions<\/p>\n<p>urged were only against refusal of the Board to adjust the amount that is<\/p>\n<p>due to it from the Board and therefore, I do not think it necessary to<\/p>\n<p>examine the contention of malafides any further. In any event, in view of<\/p>\n<p>the revision of tender conditions and Ext.R1(b) and since Ext.P3 was<\/p>\n<p>issued subsequent thereto, I do not find any merit in the contention.<\/p>\n<p>       5.    As far as the claim of the petitioner that the Board should<\/p>\n<p>have adjusted amounts that are due to its leader for Kuttiadi Augmentation<\/p>\n<p>Scheme is concerned, as already stated, it is the specific case of the<\/p>\n<p>respondents that entire amount due has been paid. Petitioner&#8217;s contention<\/p>\n<p>is that as per the Supreme Court judgment in Kerala State Electricity<\/p>\n<p>Board and another v. Kurien E. Kalathil &amp; Others (2000(6) SCC<\/p>\n<p>293), the Board is yet to make full payment. This contention is answered<\/p>\n<p>by the Board in the counter affidavit by giving the details of the payments<\/p>\n<p>made. Further, they have also given the details of other payments that<\/p>\n<p>have been made by them to the consortium leader.\n<\/p>\n<p>       6.    Thus, on the materials now available, in view of the denial of<\/p>\n<p>the claim of the petitioner, this court is not in a position to come to a<\/p>\n<p>WPC No. 33318\/07<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     :5 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>conclusion that any amount is due to be paid to the petitioner. If that be<\/p>\n<p>so, the Board cannot be faulted for its refusal to any amount towards the<\/p>\n<p>EMD specified in Ext.P3. Admittedly, the petitioner has not remitted the<\/p>\n<p>EMD when tender was submitted and a tender without EMD is an invalid<\/p>\n<p>tender and there is no question of prequalifying such a tenderer. Facts<\/p>\n<p>being so, there is no basis for the prayer sought for.<\/p>\n<p>      The writ petition is only to be dismissed and I do so.<\/p>\n<p>                                              ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE<br \/>\nRp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Kurien.E.Kalathil vs Kerala State Electricity Board on 25 March, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C) No. 33318 of 2007(N) 1.
