Full Judgment

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.6169 of 2014 (O&M) DATE OF DECISION: 31.03.2014 Sampark Services …..Petitioner versus Union of India and another .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SANJAY KISHAN KAUL, CHIEF JUSTICE HON’BLE Mr.JUSTICE ARUN PALLI Present: Mr.Manjit Singh, Advocate for the petitioner .SANJAY KISHAN KAUL, CHIEF JUSTICE: (Oral) The petitioner is professing ignorance of advertisement issued on 6.3.2014 inviting sealed tenders from security and manpower firMs.As to how the petitioner missed out the tender advertisement and how it came to know about it subsequently is nowhere disclosed.

Not only that, it is stated that last date for submission of tenders was 17.3.2014 at 1.00 P.M., but it was opened on 18.3.2014 because 17.3.2014 was a holiday.

We fail to appreciate these kinds of petitions being filed in Court.

The petitioner has no interest in submitting the tender and now somehow seeks to obstruct the processing of the tender by making frivolous claim of tender not being prominently appearing in newspapers as if it was the bounden duty of the respondents to bring the advertisement to the petitioner for the petitioner to read the same! Incidentally, the tender is even on the website.

The petitioner itself states Chand Parkash 2014.03.31 16:00 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CWP-6169-2014 -2- that 17.3.2014 was a Holi holiday and yet makes a grievance about the tender being opened on 18.3.2014.

We are, thus, of the view that it is time that such frivolous petitions are curbed and we, thus, dismiss the petition with costs quantified at `5,000/-, to be deposited with the High Court Mediation Centre within a week.
