Narendar) The instant writ petition was filed challenging the rejection of the tender by the petitioner, as it was declared non-responsive. 2. In the morning, it was submitted by the learned State Counsel that the tenderer/petitioner had made a request for return of the Bank Guarantee. 3. The petitioner having made such a request, it can be safely inferred that he has abandoned his right and the petition preferred after requesting for return of Bank 1 2025:UHC:5389-DB Guarantee and the E.M.D., in our opinion, is misconceived and is, accordingly, rejected. 4. The copy of the communication, releasing the security and the Bank Guarantee in favour of the tenderer, is placed on record in the post lunch session. 5. Accompanying applications if any pending stand disposed off. 6. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ G. NARENDAR, C.J. ____________ ALOK MAHRA, J. Dt: 25th June, 2025 Ujjwal 2
