For Petitioner : Mr.V.Raghavachari, Senior Counsel (in all W.Ps) and Mr.Avinash Wadhwani For Respondents : Mr.S.Yashwanth, (in all W.Ps) Additional Government Pleader, for RR-1 and 2 : Mr.J.Ravindran, Additional Advocate General Asstd. by Mr.K.Sathish Kumar, for RR-3 and 4 COMMON ORDER (Order made by the Hon’ble Mr.Justice D.Bharatha Chakravarthy) It can be seen that it is only the last date of bid, submission has been accepted that too for a valid reason on account of Court orders. Therefore, the same does not in any manner violate the Rules. Similarly, it does not add or modify the conditions. While seeing the corrigendum No.1, it was simply mentioned as sale of eatables which was sought to be corrected by giving full name of the tender process, the sale of eatables and collection of bottles. The same does not amount to any addition or introduction of new criteria in the tender conditions. It is trite that tenders are made on commercial considerations and the understanding of the Tender Floating Authority in respect of the tender conditions would be accepted and implemented unless the same is illegal or violative of law. Mere hardship in locating the premises or their chances of convincing the landlord to execute Rental Agreement in their favour by itself cannot invalidate the tender process. In any event, the third respondent Corporation has to go by the directives of the First Bench of this Court in W.A.Nos.374 of 2023 etc., (batch cases), dated 05.09.2023. It can be seen that after the present process, if they notice any practical difficulties, they are already enabled to modify scheme. The scheme in the present form is held to be valid. 17. Therefore, these Writ Petitions are without any merits and are accordingly dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. (N.S.K., J.)
