The petitioner, who is undisputedly the successful bidder and declared as L1 in the subject tender process, is before this Court calling in question the impugned order passed by the Appellate Authority under Section 16 of the KTTP Act. The grievance of the petitioner is that the Appellate Authority, while entertaining appeals - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:23138 WP No. 11690 of 2026 preferred by unsuccessful bidders, has exceeded the scope of its jurisdiction and has virtually undertaken an adjudication with regard to the eligibility of the petitioner, which, according to the petitioner, is impermissible in law. 3. Heard learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Advocate General appearing for the respondents. 4. Learned Advocate General fairly submits that the issue involved in the present writ petition is squarely covered by the decision rendered by this Court in W.P. No.8524/2026, disposed of on 01.04.2026. The said submission is placed on record. 5. In view of the above submission and in terms of the order passed in the aforesaid writ petition, the present writ petition stands disposed of accordingly.
