And one of the tenderers has been declared L-I. Be that as it may, he submits, for the competent authority is already in seizin of the concerns/grievances of the petitioner, it would be expedient, if the petition is disposed of, to enable the respondents-authorities to deal therewith. He submits that the necessary orders on the representation (ibid), in accordance with law, shall be passed, within two weeks from today. And till then, the work order shall not be issued to the successful tenderer. Learned counsel for the petitioner is agreeable to the course suggested by learned counsel for the respondents and submits that let this petition be disposed of in terms of the statement made by him. The petition is, accordingly, disposed of in terms of the statements made by learned counsel for the parties. This Court is sanguine that the respondents-authorities shall look into the matter in the right earnest. And, appropriate orders, shall be passed within the time indicated by the learned counsel for the respondents. Needless to assert that this order shall not constitute any expression of opinion on the merits of the case of either party, for, as indicated above, the competent authority shall examine the claim/grievance of the petitioner, strictly in accordance with law.
