¶29

Both the writ petitions have been preferred aggrieved of the order dated 01.03.2024 passed by the Chairman, Rajasthan State Food & Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd. whereby, while deciding the second appeal as preferred by the petitioner Bhawariya Construction Company (BCC), the second appellate authority directed that the work order issued, be cancelled.

¶30

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner-BCC (S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.5206/2024) submits that it was not even the prayer of the appellant for cancellation of the work order. The only prayer of the appellant was for consideration of its technical bid which was illegally declared to be unresponsive by the respondent-authorities.

¶31

The second writ petition (S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.4848/2024) has been preferred by Bharat Lal Shiv Sahay And Sons Transport Company which was the lowest bidder and has been awarded the work order. The case of the said petitioner is that the order dated 01.03.2024 was passed without affording any opportunity of hearing to it. It has been submitted that the said Company was not impleaded in the first appeal preferred by the

[2024:RJ-JD:33666]

[CW-5206/2024]

(3 of 3)

BCC and without hearing it, vide the impugned order, the work order issued in its favour has been directed to be cancelled.

¶36

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner-BCC fairly submits that as both the petitioners are aggrieved of the same order, the present writ petitions be disposed of while setting aside the said order and remanding the matters to the second appellate authority for decision afresh.

¶37

The proposal seems to be genuine.

¶38

In view of the same, the order dated 01.03.2024 is hereby quashed and set aside. Both the petitioners shall be at liberty to appear before the second appellate authority on 30.08.2024. The second appellate authority shall be under an obligation to decide the matters afresh within a period of three weeks from 30.08.2024 after affording opportunity of hearing to both the petitioners.

¶39

With the above observations, both the present writ petitions are disposed of .

¶40

Stay petitions and all pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of .
