instead of 28th April 2017 i.e. the date of the letter. The said request of the Petitioner was accepted by the Airport Authority of India and the said debarment was, therefore, deemed to have been commenced from 3rd December 2013 for a period of three years. The Airport Authority of India vide its letter dated 23rd March 2018 accordingly communicated to the Petitioner the said fact, as also communicated to the Petitioner that the restraint on issue of tenders to the Petitioner has been lifted with immediate effect. In the context of the above Petition, what is significant to note is that the Airport Authority though debarred the Petitioner for a period of three years from 3rd December 2013, has thereafter lifted the debarment with immediate effect and therefore on the date when the Petitioner participated and filled up the present tender, the Airport Authority of India had already taken a decision and in fact as indicated above the Airport Authority of India had lifted the debarmen1t. It seems that the Petitioner in the declaration in one of the forms has mentioned the said fact but the respondent No.1 did not accept the same as the Petitioner had not produced the communication from the Airport Authority of India as it had not received it.
