Court: Chennai

Decided on: Apr-29-2005

Reported in: (2005)2MLJ198

Markandey Katju, C.J.1. This writ appeal has been filed against the impugned order of the learned single Judge dated 25.02.2005 passed in W.P. No. 9368 of 2004. 2. The appellant has alleged that he was the highest bidder in a tender but the authorities have cancelled the tender process and ordered for fresh bids.3. It is well settled that even the highest bidder has no absolute indefeasible right to get a contract. There are various reasons for which the authorities may not accept the highest bid, vide S. Selvarani v. Commissioner, 2005 W.L.R. 30 (vide paragraphs 16 to 18) e.g. if they find the highest bid is inadequate or for some other good and valid reason, vide Ram and Shyam Co. v. State of Haryana, (1925) 3 SCC 267 (vide paragraphs 11, 12 and 14). If the appellant is so advised, he can bid in the fresh tender. The learned Judge has already directed for refund of Earnest Money Deposit with interest at the rate of 15%. We see no infirmity in his order. There is no force in the appea...

K.R. Sethuraman Vs. the Bharathiyar University, Rep. by Its Registrar

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Apr-29-2005

Reported in: 2005(3)CTC670

Markandey Katju, C.J.1. This Writ Appeal has been filed against the impugned order of the learned single Judge dated 07.01.2005 passed in W.P. No. 6407 of 1997. 2. We have heard the learned counsel for the appellant and perused the impugned order.3. The age of superannuation of the appellant was 58 years under the relevant statute, but it appears that the appellant obtained an interim stay order from a learned single Judge of this Court by which he continued till the age of 60 years.4. We cannot appreciate the interim orders passed by this Court which deviate from the law or which violate the law. Judges must know their limits and act within the law, and must not violate the law. In the present case, the interim order which permitted the petitioner to continue till the age of 60 years was wholly illegal since the age of superannuation is 58 years. Judges cannot create law. It is the Legislature or the appropriate delegate of the Legislature which can amend the age of retirement, but th...

Reported in: 2005(4)CTC513; (2005)3MLJ445

ORDERK.P. Sivasubramaniam, J.1. Though the first of these writ petitions is not connected with the other three writ petitions, in view of the fact that the question of law which arises for consideration is common, all the four writ petitions are taken together.2. The issue which arises for consideration is as regards whether the Samadhan Scheme introduced by the Tamil Nadu Government in G.O. Ms. No. 193, Commercial Taxes Department dated 27.12.2004 could apply to proceedings pending at the appellate stage also or whether the relief is to be restricted only to proceedings pending before the original authority.3.
