HC rejects Hero Cycles’ plea in TN free scheme
TIMES NEWS NETWORK 24.03.2018
Chennai: Madras high court has rejected a plea moved by Hero Cycles to direct Tamil Nadu government to consider their bid submitted for supply of more than 6 lakh bicycles for the state government’s free cycle scheme for schoolchildren.
According to the petitioner, the government rejected the company’s bid for two technical reasons; one, for failure to fix a geared bell in the boy’s cycle as prescribed in the tender document, and two, for not affixing logo of Tamil Nadu government in the sample cycles submittedby the company.
Refusing to direct the government to relax some of the minor rules in the tender, and accept the bid submitted by Hero Ecotech Ltd, Justice K Ravichandrabaabu said: “The question of relaxation does not arise, while considering the technical qualifications notwithstanding the fact that the lapse is minor or major. If a pre-condition is relaxed by considering the fact that the same is only minimal, the question next would arise is as to why not to relax the other condition for other person as well, which according to another bidder may be minimal and does not go to the root of the matter.”
