To issue a writ of certiorari setting Patna High Court CWJC No.2932 of 2026(2) dt.02-04-2026 2/3 aside the tender awarded to Respondent No.-09 (vide memo no- 1290 dated 23-07-2024 contained in annexure-5), who participated with others in the Bihar State Food & Civil Supply Corporation Limited (BSFCSC) tendering process, Siwan, published vide tender no- 439 dated 17-02-2024, for selection and Empanelment of Transportation cum Handling Contractor for main transportation of Food Grains, Respondent No-9 was declared successful in the tendering process, despite submitting a wrong and misleading affidavit, which violates the terms specified in the notice inviting tender (NIT). (ii.) To set up an independent inquiry into the unfair/ arbitrary tendering process in respect of transportation of food grains that ultimately affects the fundamental right to life of the needy citizens, guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. (iii.) To direct the tendering authorities to follow the specified terms of the NIT. (iv.) To other relief/reliefs whether the petitioner may be found entitled in facts and circumstances of the case. 2. After going through the nature of prayer made in the writ petition, we are of the view that the grievance raised by the petitioner smacks of private litigation and he was neither the Patna High Court CWJC No.2932 of 2026(2) dt.02-04-2026 3/3 tenderer nor anyhow affected. However, still he has any grievance, he may agitate the matter before the appropriate forum, but the public interest litigation is not maintainable. 3. Accordingly the writ petition stands disposed off. supratim/- (Sangam Kumar Sahoo, CJ) (Harish Kumar, J) U
