Forthwith disclose the complete technical evaluation scoresheets for all bidders who participated in the relevant tenders to ensure transparency. ii.

Learned Advocate General submits that, as per the note-sheet dated 01.09.2025 of the Tender Committee, the petitioner’s bid was rejected on account of certain deficiencies, namely that the petitioner had submitted his bid in a single envelope, whereas the terms and conditions of the tender required that the bids be submitted in separate envelopes. It is further submitted that although such deficiency was noticed during scrutiny of the documents, the same was not communicated to the petitioner in writing. 4. In view of the above, the learned Advocate General is directed to communicate the reasons for rejection of the petitioner’s bid to the petitioner in writing. 5. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw the present writ petition, with liberty to file afresh if the petitioner is aggrieved by the rejection order, or to take recourse to such remedies as may be available to him under the law.
