Nos. 3,4, & 5 : Mr. Shadab Bin Haque, Advocate --------- 02/Dated: 17. 12. 2024 1) Heard the counsel for the parties. 2) Admittedly as per the tender conditions clause 14(2) submission of GST clearance certificate for the month of October 2023 is mandatory and the petitioner did not submit the same along with his tender. Thus, the petitioner’s tender, without submission of the said document, could not have been treated as a valid tender by the respondents. 3) Even if the petitioner was found to be technically qualified and even if his bid was the lowest bid, since the petitioner had not submitted the requisite document i. e.
the GST clearance certificate for the month of October 2023, he is not entitled to the relief of quashing of the decision dated 13. 06. 2024 rejecting his tender. 4) Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. (M. S. Ramachandra Rao, C. J. ) (Deepak Roshan, J. ) Sharda/MM/Cp. 1
