Headnote | Constitution of India: Art.226 – Tender – Bid – Respondent ONGC invited “Expression of Interest” (EOI) for demand assessment for natural gas produced from two fields – Three applicants – ONGC sought approval of Ministry in terms of EOI for gas allocation – When matter was pending consideration before the Union Government, one of the applicant revised its response, and offered to commence off take of gas within 65 days of allotment – ONGC by letter dated 08.03.2021 re-invited the bids from the three shortlisted applicants to place fresh bid – The other applicant submitted fresh bid – However, writ applicant did not submit any fresh bid and filed writ petition challenging letter dated 08.03.2021 so far it calls for “expected period of readiness to offtake gas” and also praying for issuance of writ of mandamus to ONGC to proceed with award of gas allocation on the basis of its offer – In the writ petition, neither the Ministry nor other applicants were impleaded as party respondents – Matter came up before High Court on 19.08.2021 and Union of India was ordered to be arrayed as respondent no.3 – At the time of hearing of writ petition, writ applicant reduced days for lifting gas from 75 days to 65 days – High Court disposed of writ petition by directing ONGC to finalize the contract with the applicant on condition that the writ applicant shall lift the gas within 65 days from the date of allotment – On appeal by other applicants, held: The procedure adopted by High Court while disposing of writ petition in favour of writ applicant was unsustainable – High Court passed impugned order ex-parte and without giving any opportunity of being heard to the other applicants – Before the High Court, it was brought on record that there were two other applicants who submitted their EOI and even one of the applicants was ready and willing to lift the gas within 65 days – Till writ petition was filed and matter was heard by High Court on 19.08.2021 and 16.09.2021, the original writ applicantoffered to lift the gas within 75 days – Only at the time of hearing on 20.09.2021, writ applicant revised its offer and High Court allowed writ applicant to revise its offer and that too in exercise of powers under Art.226 – When High Court allowed the writ applicant to modify its offer, in that case, the opportunity ought to have been given to the other applicants – So the procedure adopted by High Court while disposing of writ petition by permitting the original writ applicant to modify its offer and that too in exercise of powers under Art.226 is unsustainable – Matter remitted to High Court for its fresh decision. |

It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
