In the nature of certiorari for quashing the communication contained in Letter No. 3266 dated 07.10.2021 (Annexure- 12) issued from the office of the respondent no. 4 in terms of which the Letter of Acceptance /Award of Work for Hiring of HEMM for removal of ОВ, Extraction and Transportation of Coal from IV(T), V/VI/VII, VIII A, VIII B, VIII C, IX, X & XI/XII Seams of Patch-H, New Akashkinaree Colliery, Govindpur Area, BCCL issued in favour of the petitioner has been cancelled arbitrarily; b.

For a further writ / order / direction commanding upon the respondent authorities to accept the performance security by way of Bank Guarantee by giving appropriate time extension to the petitioner for submission of such performance security and further direct the respondents to issue formal work order in favour of the petitioner and fulfill such other formalities required to enable the Neutral Citation No. 2025:JHHC:36261-DB petitioner to commence with the work immediately and forthwith. 2. Vide order dated 27th of October 2021, the finalization of the tender was made subject to the final outcome of this writ petition. However, during pendency of the writ petition, the recommendation of the Tender Committee dated 17.10.2022 appears to have been placed before the competent authority, namely, the Functional Director of BCCL and the FDs in their meeting held on 21st of January 2022, wherein this Committee was pleased to accept the recommendation of the Tender Committee and it was resolved to cancel the tender and go for re-tendering of the job and accordingly, fresh tender was issued. 3. Obviously, in such circumstances, the petition questioning the tender process of 2021, more particularly the Letter of Acceptance dated 20.08.2021 has been rendered infructuous. 4. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. 5. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of. (Tarlok Singh Chauhan, C.J.) (Rajesh Shankar, J.) December 03, 2025 N.A.F.R.
