M/S SUN INTERNATIONAL LIMITEDversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 3 OTHERS

Decided

Holding

The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous because the bid has been finalized and no cause of action remains.

Summary

M/s Sun International Limited filed a writ petition challenging the finalization of a bid by the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA). The petitioners sought relief, but the respondent counsel informed the court that the bid had already been finalized, eliminating any pending cause of action. The court considered the submission that the matter was concluded and that no further relief could be granted. Consequently, the court held that the petition had become infructuous. The writ petition was therefore dismissed.

Issues considered

  • Whether the writ petition remains maintainable when the subject bid has been finalized and no cause of action subsists

Subjects

  • Writ petition
  • Bid finality
  • Infructuous
  • Administrative law
  • Public procurement

                                    1. Learned Senior Counsel, Shri M.C. Chaturvedi, assisted by Shri
                                    Kaushalendra Nath Singh, learned counsel for the respondent - New
                                    Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA), states that the final
                                    bid has now been finalized and, therefore, the prayer made in the writ
                                    petition cannot be granted.

                                    2. The instructions which the learned counsel for the respondent - NOIDA
                                    has received may be passed on to the learned counsel for the petitioner.

                                    3. Since it has been submitted that the bid has been given finality, no
                                    further cause of action remains. The writ petition is, accordingly,
                                    dismissed as having become infructuous.
