Respondents --------- CORAM: HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN --------- For the Petitioner: Mr. Mahesh Tewari, Advocate Mr. Abhishek Kumar Dubey, Advocate For the Respondents: Mr. Yogesh Modi, A.C. to A.A.G.-IA --------- 04/Dated: 25.03.2025 1) Heard both sides. 2) The grievance of the petitioner in the writ petition is that the petitioner’s tender was disqualified for non-fulfillment of the technical para-meters specified in clause 21 erroneously. 3) Clause 21 states as under:- “21. Minimum Financial Turnover in any one year should not less than the value of work, during previous three financial years. Escalation factors: Years Before Multiply Factor One 1.1 Two 1.21 Three 1.33” -2- 4) Admittedly for the financial year 2021-22, the turnover of the petitioner was only ₹ 67,88,488/-. As per clause 21 this is to be multiplied by 1.33. On such multiplication it is clear that the value obtained is less than the contract value of ₹ 2.22 crores. 5) Therefore, we find no error in the decision of the respondents in holding that the technical bid submitted by the petitioner does not fulfill the norms. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. 6) Interlocutory application, if any, also stands disposed of. (M.S. Ramachandra Rao, C.J.) (Deepak Roshan, J.) Sharda/MM/ Cp. 02
