This is an application filed seeking amendment of the accompanying writ petition on the ground that the Petitioner upon perusal of the affidavit-in-opposition filed by the Respondent Nos. 1 and 2 became aware that the Respondent Authorities at Assam Industrial Development Corporation Limited modified the terms and conditions of the Pre- Page No.# 3/4 Qualification Eligibility Criteria in the Detailed Auction Catalogue without issuing any addendum and/or corrigendum to that effect. 3. It is also alleged in the instant application that the modified terms and conditions were never intimated or published by way of addendum by the Respondents resulting in disqualification of the Applicant including most of the other similarly situated participating bidders. Under such circumstances, as the Applicant had come to learn about the same only upon filing of the affidavit-in-opposition, it has become necessary to amend the accompanying writ petition by incorporating further facts and grounds and as such, the present application has been filed. 4. It is also the case of the Applicant that apart from the additional pleadings, there is also a requirement for adding an additional prayer to the writ petition. 5. This Court has duly perused the affidavit-in-opposition and from a perusal of the said affidavit-in-opposition, it is relevant to take note of that this aspects as alleged have been brought on record by way of the said affidavit. 6. Considering the above, without deciding on the merits of such allegations made in the application, this Court permits the amendment to the writ petition by incorporation of the additional pleadings as well as the additional relief as mentioned in paragraph No.5 of the present application. 7. The interlocutory application accordingly stands allowed. 8. The Petitioner is directed to file the amended writ petition on or before 15.12.2025 by serving advance copy upon the learned counsel for Page No.# 4/4 the Respondents to the accompanying writ petition.
