Issues:
The judgment involves the consideration of a Writ Petition seeking a mandamus to declare the respondent's action in not considering the petitioner's tender for maintenance work as illegal and arbitrary. Details of the Judgment: 1. The petitioner, a Society registered under the A.P. (Telangana Area) Public Societies Registration Act 1350 Fasli, filed a tender in response to a notification for maintenance work. The petitioner's tender was rejected, alleging favoritism towards another agency offering a lower bid. This led to the filing of the Writ Petition challenging the rejection. 2. The respondent, through its Law Officer, contended that only societies registered under specific Acts were eligible to participate, and since the petitioner was not registered under those Acts, their tender was deemed invalid. However, the respondent did not dispute the petitioner's registration under the 1350 Fasli Act, which was repealed by the 2001 Act. The court noted that the registration under the previous Act was deemed to be under the new Act, and the respondent erred in not considering this legal position. 3. The court declared the respondent's action in rejecting the petitioner's tender as illegal and directed them to reconsider the tender along with others in compliance with the tender conditions. Consequently, the Writ Petition was allowed, and an interim order related to the case was vacated. 4. The judgment emphasized the importance of legal provisions regarding registration under different Acts and highlighted the need for authorities to adhere to such provisions while evaluating tenders to ensure fairness and legality in the process.
