JUSTICE MITALI THAKURIA ORDER Date : 14/11/2025 (Michael Zothankhuma, J) Heard Mr. B. J. Ghosh, learned counsel for the applicant. Mr. D.

The prayer of the applicant is for a direction to be issued to the respondent nos. 2 & 5, to issue necessary Site Visit Certificate to the applicant in terms of the SBD Sl. No. 7 of Clause 7.1 of the ITB for submission of retender for balance work for the construction of Model Secondary School in Tea Garden Areas of Assam under RIDF- XXVIII of Arkatipur T.E. District Cachar, in pursuant to the Tender Notice dated 07/10/2025. Page No.# 4/4 The learned counsel for the applicant submits that this Court, vide order dated 07/11/2025 passed in WA 365/2025, had permitted the applicant to participate in the retender, for which the applicant requires a Site Visit Certificate. Despite the applicant visiting the site, the respondent nos. 2 & 5, for reasons unknown to the applicant, has not issued/provided the applicant with a Site Visit Certificate. The applicant’s counsel submits that the last date for submission of the bid is 17/11/2025 and as such, a direction should be given to the respondents concerned for issuance of the Site Visit Certificate. Mr. D. Nath, learned Senior Government Advocate, Assam, appearing for the respondents submits that that Site Visit Certificate will be issued to the applicant, so long as the applicant had visited the site, in terms of the requirement for issuance of the Site Visit Certificate. On considering the submissions made by the learned counsels for the parties and keeping in view the fact that the applicant has been given the liberty to participate in the retender in terms of the order dated 07/11/2025 passed in WA 365/2025, we direct the respondent nos. 2 & 5 to issue the Site Visit Certificate to the applicant within 2 (two) days from today, if the applicant had visited the concerned site. The IA stands disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE Comparing Assistant
