The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the attempts made by the petitioner, the amount when sought to be fed into the portal for uploading the tender documents of the petitioner was taken only as Rs.32.05/- and as such, the tender documents would not be processed by the respondents since the cost per quintal as per the tender document is stated to be Rs.35.05/-. 3. The learned Additional Government Advocate submits that several other tenderers have submitted the proper bid of Rs.35.05/- as cost per quintal. 4. If that be so, it cannot be available for the petitioner to contend that the system did not accept the figure of Rs.35.05/- and instead accepted a figure of Rs.32.05/-. The petitioner cannot take advantage of its own wrongs and seek the relief which has been sought for; the petition stands dismissed. SD/- (SURAJ GOVINDARAJ) JUDGE JY List No.: 1 Sl No.: 19
