[00:00:10]Court appeal is directed against the judgment dated 2312 2025 where honorable court while adjudicating the case on merit on ground of alternate remedy available alternate remedy maron has disposed of or dispace by red petition.

[00:00:28]>> Yes. After giving findings on merit my this relates to payment of gratuitity my graduity of an employee a regular employee of respondent number three >> before the controlling authority >> was it was it was the affidavit completed in the red petition.

[00:00:49]>> Yes. Yes ma'am. Pleadings were completed and read was hard on there after the alternative remedy. Can you show me uh the uh operative portion to share?

[00:00:59]>> Sure. Sure my sir lecture one from >> show me the portion the portion >> correct my four if you can see >> 6 4 >> 6 4 then finally from page 28 running page of my >> running running page 19 I believe running page 38 >> 38 correct m >> yes >> 38 finally >> who is appearing for the other side >> both respondent two and three are being represented by their respective lawyers >> where are respondent number two here my lords I with repending for number three.

[00:02:01]Now tell me sir the if the court entertains the red petition invited the parties to exchange the affidavit is it permissible to relegate the parties to a alternative forum >> here the relegate the matter here the court honorable single judge did not relegate a matter to the appalate forum what it what the honorable single judge had has observed is that the matter is not maintainable is the repetition is not entertainable since there exist an alternate remedy of appeal under >> what is what is the difference what is the difference that I I could not >> make out the case if the court says it is not internable because of the alternative statutory remedy available then what does it mean not relegating a alternative forum >> what is the single did not send it to the appallet forum to decide it. It only >> they can but they can this observation what is the law of the subject >> should be it should be relegated at the very first day of admission.

[00:03:13]>> Yes sir.

[00:03:13]>> Or it can be relegated after the full fleshed hearing >> after hearing the parties and passing the judgment the >> show us show us I I am aware of a just reverse judgment. So please tell us show us the judgment you have in your hand.

[00:03:31]>> The party cannot be sent to the alternate to >> I understand it is not an absolute bar that the rate is not attainable because of the alternative remedy available.

[00:03:43]So the court must exercise the discretion at the very first day when the but once the parties exchange their affidavit everything has been done then will it not be proper that the court should decide the matter on merit but it was decided on also my two two issues were framed by the honorable single judge. One was whether the order passed by the controlling authority is sustainable in the eyes of law and the second was with respect to the alternate remedy available uh with the matter. Now uh from at P number 16 at page number 35 the honorable single judge has uh observed has made some observation on merits par 16 page 35 the above exhibits and the bylaws of the fed are also going to show that the is the Controlling authority of Pumul and OFred is vested with all powers that is recommend liquidations of any member union or primary cooperative societies including Pumul common service headers for fores staffs of the member unions. The selection of the petitioner was made by the AEX organization of Pumul that is Of his service was placed under the control of its subsidiary union Pumul. Therefore the fixation of joint liability for payment of graduity dues to the applicant on the pumul making them jointly and severally liable cannot be held as erroroness because the object of the payment of gratuitity act 1972 is to achieve social justice and a liberal interpretation as well as wider meaning has to be given while interpreting the said act that apart for the interate dispute between comfort and the pumul the retired employee that is promot Kumar pani should not be debarred from getting his legal graduated dues. My this is the observation made by the honorable single judge on merits.

[00:05:51]Here my lords the respondent number two had retired from his services.

[00:05:55]>> No I understand this is with in relation to a payment of gratuitity.

[00:06:00]>> Yes my lords.

[00:06:01]>> Yes I understood.

[00:06:04]>> Yes. Yes. You will >> only point which appears to us at the very outset. Correct. But now the court has also gone into the merit.

[00:06:13]>> Correct my lord. Now after adjudicating the issues my lord which are crux of the issue my lord on merit relegating me again to the alternative my lord >> modify the order. We can modify the order. So far as a liability is concerned it is a joint liability which has been held. So that is what is there and there is no point of relegating him to >> his holding me jointly and severally liable is not permissible because I'm a independent >> ent where is a bar where is a bar show us because he relied upon judgment of this >> he has relied upon of this court show us >> the respon is there in the order itself of the who took took 12 months of apprenticeship period that the federation made the person concerned by trained killed to make him eligible to seek proper employment and he was regularly observed there after from 173 1983 till the date of superan 38 long years he was regular employee of respondent number three he only got killed my lord under federation for 12 months for that holding me responsible my equally and jointly to discharge a uh liability of to the tune of 50 lakh 31,000 is not permissible my lord I am not the employer here the employees district milk union my and it will set a very wrong precedence also for all employees of different milk unions of the state my there are 13 or 14 district milk unions all over the state and my status My status as well as the different milk union status are separate autonomous independent bodies there cooperative bodies by our relationship just like a data and creditor and we function in a three- tier system federation being at the apex level district milians are in the mid mid tier and the primary agricultural milk union society meot which are primarily at the root And I I can I can also physically produce adjudication made by the same controlling authority in respect of other employee of the same um and other district militian where they have not uh he has noted the liability of >> yes who is appearing for PU Ming my lord The is the is the affiliated society to the minor is organization. The maximum of time is the general manager posted by the and tax bill without paying without giving payment more than two crores pending pending. No fair.

[00:09:26]Um is a small society most of the employees are controlled by the general manager. General my that point will be decided by the opulate authority my lord auth under under section seven subsection seven my lord of the act instead of filing the preferred ma'am there is no question of any uh we wanted to we wanted to hear out uh the uh the appeal itself. The point is very the point is very simple whether it is a joint liability >> or it is a it is a sole liability of >> correct >> so that is the only point which is available sir >> now now so far as the sorry for interfering but >> just wait have a patience >> was filed by the appalent which is dismissed >> the petition was filed by the appalent which is dismissed.

[00:10:41]>> Yes, correct. Whether any entry order was continuing in contin The respondent has retired in 2021. Till now none of his graduated dues have been paid to him.

[00:11:18]>> I understand. I understand. This is a portion. Now the pumul has not challenged this order.

[00:11:24]>> No he there is not challenging.

[00:11:28]>> Now now the controlling authority has said that both of you will share jointly equally.

[00:11:35]>> Yes ma'am.

[00:11:36]>> Equal liability.

[00:11:38]>> Yes ma'am.

[00:11:39]>> Both of you.

[00:12:05]Sir in my read petition sir >> in your read petition sir Mr. There was no stay of the operation of the order of the controlling authority.

[00:12:15]It was only a coercive action to be not not to be taken. That means the order has its operation.

[00:12:59]Only thing is no coercive action.

[00:13:02]>> No courseive action.

I'm carrying the other file appeal file my file >> and and one more prayer ballot before the controlling authority it was nobody's case that the respondent number two is not entitled to gratuitity rather it was admitted fact and admitted case of all >> understand sir you need not have to yes my lord Uh the the the repetition filed by the appalent was dismissed after deciding two points.

But now the letter is issued by a commandant uh 175 battalion where he has said that it is in also informed that there is no government accommodation available in this unit in which above psychiatric patient with his family can be accommodated.

[00:23:45]Keeping in view of the above, it is requested that the above individual may be transferred to any aesthetic office by cancelling his transfer from Odisa sector headquarter to 175th battalion for his better treatment please.

[00:24:05]Then that instruction that instruction I didn't have if they got it.

[00:24:13]>> Yes. Yes. This is in this instruction from a commandant because not a level of command to decide I'll say headquarter and they will do the needful just keep the matter. Only thing is that the doctor has said that since he has some psychological or psychiatric problem the the the member the presence of the members all along with him is also very much necessary.

[01:30:53]Now my lord for the iron ore the penalty was imposed to the tune of 11 crores. My lord 100 more than 100 crores. Well my lord by honorable supreme court judgment it was assessed and my lord it was found that iron ore was a legally it was extracted legally and the for the iron ore for the penalty the iron or the sale of the extracted iron or will be sold minor. Now with regard to manganese or minor that is that is nothing with regard to manganese or should be sold to recover any penalty minor. So penalty is with regard to the iron or minor but with regard to the extracted manganese is over my lord there is no penalty as such. So my lord for in in that regard my lord we have written number of letters to the authorities and finally my lord annex 7 my lord may see 114 my >> yes >> is the on 710 2023 my lord 3 years back the deputy d the the deputy director of mines wrote uh joint director of mines wrote to the deputy director of mines to uh uh to to give a specific views as to there is any uh to why that manganese or cannot be transported.

Authority cannot sit tight over it. He's not challenging >> only the common cause judgment since only allows for dispatch of iron orelets and not manganesees or therefore currently only dispatch of iron ore is being allowed. Secondly, my the lease period has expired after completion of 50 years my as per what instructions that I've received from all the demand the demand remained on him even if it is it expires that the liability to pay the the penalty or whatever that remained on them. So will you not determine the the the the liability part? He says that cannot be imposed in this way and you can't recover it.

[01:33:39]>> Then my representations then may be heard in presence of the petition.

[01:33:44]>> This letter was written way back on 710 2023. Now we are in 2026 more than 2 and a half years practically have elapsed.

Within three weeks average 3 weeks two weeks you say four weeks you say three weeks.

[01:35:43]Great. Appeal appeal the affate forum has already been approved >> against the demand in five appeal has been filed 7 >> seven >> that is stated to be pending disposal >> disposal within Item 28 28 lordship in it is a small request lordship to deposit the entire secret to money lordship in instead of cash it is bank guarantee it can be >> what is the what is the rule it can it can be hard after vacation to the lengthy hearing is required. I want to >> yes item 29 my pleasure. This is regarding the 20% EC and the mining plan.

[01:37:57]the demand order has been issued and the difference of EC basing on the difference in the EC limits permissible limits in the EC and the amount of mineral extracted but on that the demand notice has been issued so let him also deposit >> difficulty is because IBM now IBM has to consider it they have considered they have permitted 10% initially then enhanced to 20% thereafter after now what would be the impact thereof that has to be considered. Mining plan may be subordinate to EC but again the decision which is taken by a highest body that is the statutory body also >> regional authority has taken a decision that is under >> yes so that is to be taken into account that what would be impact thereof >> yes ma'am >> this 10% difference whether that can also be inbuilt into it that's the only thing into the also that is that is the only thing that is the only issue my lord That is what is there.

[01:45:47]>> Section 27 um rule 274 subclass four mile of OMC rules.

[01:46:53]I >> if I may be given I'll just uh see it on my on the website once.

[01:47:00]But they have also in the report milux proceedings they have referred to 274 subclass 4 mile >> but in in in in the new one there is no subclause 4.

[01:47:13]I think they also relied upon the older provision which is uh >> director secondary >> the director of minor minerals shall have to conquer in at least 10% of the cases approved by the controlling authorities within 10 days 274 it is something which is absolutely a minimum guaranteed quantity.

[01:47:52]Mr. Don't keep quiet or what my answer can come to page 49 for a moment. Page 49 of the brief. No, no. 49 of >> 49. My brief 49.

[01:48:07]>> Yes. 49. See this is a proceeding 278 24 p 49.

[01:48:16]>> Yes. virt no about about this provision of law.

[01:48:32]>> Yes, I I will answer. I will answer come to lordship. I I declared the highest bidder then come to pay 70 for women. What the >> 70 or 17?

[01:48:48]>> 17 l 17. Your lordship last two paragraphs 17.

[01:48:59]>> Yes.

[01:49:00]>> Lordship par 13 for two small paragraphs on regul is neither competent nor assumes the power powers after the amendment. And but it appears that there has been a correspondence by the mining officer.

[01:49:15]>> No no no I'm coming to the let me complete only two small paragraphs >> and therefore the decision of steps taken by them in issuing the said in notices or taking any decision subsequent there to are without judicial and cannot be sustained in of law. Then the tolerant is directed to transfer all the records to the mining department and the company authority under the amended rules 22 shall take fresh decision after othering the principal justice within 4 weeks from the date of the communication judgment. So Lord had it in their case that my servants are defective. They should have been called upon me to external lordship. Once you declared me L1 I am ready to lordship perform the contract. At the same time you come up with a resolution by the incompetent authority. Your lordship was that order.

[01:50:03]>> I understand sir take a fresh decision.

[01:50:05]I understand then that they have taken shelter under a particular provision of the rules.

[01:50:10]>> No that is complete.

[01:50:14]She is saying that solveny certificate can only be used once.

[01:50:19]>> Yes, I have used once. Multiple >> I have used once.

[01:50:22]>> Asking where is the provision relating to this provision?

[01:50:30]I don't know what step what question is they have taken lit that is unknown to me.

[01:50:36]>> Now she's taking it is unknown to you.

[01:50:38]What are you talking?

[01:50:39]>> No no they never supply to me. Let's not enter case. is Das is taking the stand that you have submitted one solveny certificate. Yes, >> covering multiple he says that it is not permissible.

[01:50:55]>> No, it is permissible. If it is within a provision, there is a provision which talks about the solveny certificate and the restrictions created. I just wanted to look at the provision sir.

[01:51:11]Lordship they are referring to old rules 274 they're referring to old rules lordship may read 274 what are the language of lordship a salvent certificate or a bank guarantee valid of 18 months of an amount of less than the amount >> you are also referring to old book >> no they are referring I don't know what they referring only available it is old rulership new rules that is not available >> under new rule What is the provision for submission of this solveny certificate?

[01:51:45]>> That solvent certificate can come new rules.

[01:51:51]>> So what what what they reading? Let us see. Yes. What are you reading?

[01:51:55]>> The new rule book is there >> the new rule. It is 277 millets.

[01:52:01]>> 277 >> seven years.

[01:52:03]>> Okay.

[01:52:06]>> 2774 miles.

[01:52:08]>> Yes.

[01:52:09]Income tax return of previous financial year showing annual income for amount not less than the amount of additional charge for the minor mineral offered and the royalty payable for the minimum guarantee quantity for one whole year a bank guarantee valid for a period of 18 months for a amount >> different but here this you are talking about solveny certificate >> solvent certificate >> you are reading this is not a solveny certificate >> this is what they referring to the solveny certificate my >> no there is a language which is used he He was he was reading the stolen sey what is the provision Mr. Old lordship in old lordship 274 lership.

[01:52:47]>> Yes. What >> a certificate lordship. A solvent certificate or bank guarantee valid for a period of 18 months of an amount not less than the amount additional charge offer and the royalty payable for minimum guaranted quantity of one whole year and a list of removal properties from the revenue authority. This is the requirement under law. So if that everybody has one solvent certificate lordship it comes within that perview he can use that solvent certificate in different particip participation lordship so that solvent certificate within that limit lordship so my I my solvent certificate never lets me cross that limit that is my within my limit that's why they have selected me now this committee lordship after lordship's direction they have reversed that >> then I do not find any prohibition that he cannot how authority He arrived at it from where they got it.

[01:53:42]>> From where they got it. Madam madam, >> they should tell me to >> where they got it.

[01:53:47]>> If I may just read the instructions which I have in front of me.

[01:53:50]>> Madam, the instruction must be in conssonance with the law.

[01:53:54]>> Yes, they give you an instruction when you have a occasion to read the provision of law. Will you will you will you uh be able to satisfy your own conscience?

[01:54:06]Yes my lords that what they seeing is in accordance with law. Yes my lots my here what had happened my lords here the solveny required was approximately 2.54 54 my if I may refer to form M uh which is annex to the old book mile it refers to solveny certificate miles >> correct >> so here if the amount required was approximately 2.54 and he had given for 2.54 it is it was found out by verification of document that the same to solveny certificate he was he had used in other uh sand >> madam please I am I'm believing that I am breaking my head before a solid rock wall who is unable to respond I am simply asking you if there is a solveny certificate which he has issued showing that I I am solvent to the extent of this where is a prohibition or a contention or a provision that once Once you have used it for some other purposes, it will be reduced gradually by virtue of a quantum and therefore you cannot use it. Where is a prohibition?

[01:55:19]Where is a provision? Tell us. Can you see innovatively done?

[01:55:24]>> No m there is no direct provision. Only thing which >> how can you how can you declare him invalid?

[01:55:31]>> Only reason my if I may read that >> you can't you can't act beyond the perview of law. No, that's all >> only 274.

[01:55:40]If I may read once again the action of a authority who does not know or do not have a care to respect the law. No ma'am if I just may read 2744 for my satisfaction >> read that >> income tax return solveny certified which sir >> no madam you can't because this was done at a point of time when this amendment did not come amendment came on 28th of November 2025 you have to follow the un amended rule which was there at the time >> yes my lord >> now this un amended rule Mr. dollar read it talks about a solvency certificate and does not contain any provision relating to multiple use of that solveny certificate I am asking you very simple question there is no specific barots I agree to that >> if there is no bar can it act against him to his detriment I'm asking >> my only reason this clause is referred is my what that solveny certificate will show What is required? It will show that uh annual income for the amount not less than the amount of additional charge offered and the royalty payable for the minimum guarantee quantity for for one whole year my lords. If he does not meet that requirement my lords then he will not >> you say if he if he says that look this is my certificate this meets the requirement for a whole year it may be that I have used this certificate for other where also I have shown my solvency please consider I think uh I am unable to match the frequency of mind with you the provision does not say that there will be a pro on a on a the the reduction or there will be a deduction of a particular amount.

[01:57:39]Now the question is again I'm saying if somebody has a solvency to the extent of three crores he has used this solveny certificate for obtaining securing that royalty for another p purpose or another sand mines whatever to the extent of two crores.

[01:58:00]Again he says that look I have a solvency for another period of say say for 2 crores also because it is a 3 cr.

[01:58:10]If the authority say that I will deduct that particular uh the amount from your solveny certificate, there must be some rule. There must be some provision.

[01:58:21]There must be some kind of a the the go or a government circular government order. There must be something can an authority overnight he will say I will do it. No mallet it cannot any authority of law mallet only mallet if I may refer to >> I appreciate what you are saying but there it must be backed by some document there's nothing >> there's nothing rule does not prescribe >> so mallet if he does not the only uh respectful submission is that if he does not if has that much solveny for the conducting the sand query then he will not be able >> madam you are talking about whatever the solvency certificate which has been placed before you there is no provision that he has to disclose.

[01:59:10]>> No, there's no provision.

[01:59:12]>> There's no provision.

[01:59:13]>> Then from your sources if you have got something can you act to his detriment?

[01:59:18]>> Well, it's in the same beds in the same area. It's Dha one and Dha 2 mils. In Digha one he had used the same thing in Dha 2 also he had said well it's page number 44. Initially tessel had also issued >> probably probably I think it's my incompetence to to to to percolate what I have said >> well I understand >> the fundamental principle of the administrative jur jurispence is an individual can do anything unless prohibited by law but an authority cannot do anything unless provided by law.

[01:59:53]You can act within the presence of law.

[01:59:56]Tell me where is the exercise to be done. Provision must be very clear. I am asking you. The provision does not say anything. It says the solveny certificate containing this in a prescribed form is to be submitted which he has submitted.

[02:00:14]>> That is correct.

[02:00:15]>> No prohibition. There is no restriction.

[02:00:18]You have of your own will device. There is no government circular. There is nothing.

[02:00:26]I'm asking this question. I unable to percolate my mind to you.

[02:00:30]>> Well, it's I understand but this is >> you are still singing in the same tune because your authority has given you instruction. Well, it's page number 44.

[02:00:39]Milots, initially shockers was also issued citing the same reason. My page number 44 by >> can you issue a is there if there is a mandate that you cannot hide it or you have to disclose it. If they have not disclosed it, I can very well appreciate that you can issue a notice.

[02:00:59]When there is none then whimsically you will issue a so's notice.

[02:01:10]Is it not really furthering or or giving impetus to some kind of a favoritism or a nepotism?

[02:01:20]You want to eliminate the highest bidder by hook or crook taking whatever the steps not permitted in law beh then the floating attender inviting a the the bets the lowest price highest price the concept is the fairness transparency everything you are eroding it by virtue thereof taking a plea which is not permitted in law, not prohibited in law, nothing.

[02:01:55]No matter this can't be done.

[02:01:57]>> It's here the um after this um >> show us show us the law that you can take any any any decisions the conditions of the tender the provision of law as you think fit >> you will do it.

[02:02:12]>> No mad that is not my submission.

[02:02:13]>> I will be very happy the whole country will run in this way. No mad the only thing is that sir >> what are you talking this is not a law you should respect the law you should act within the four corners of the conditions which you have put you can't travel beyond it >> yes or no >> let's hear opposite party number six has uh actually matched and given higher quantity now mallets after this difficulty is the difficulty is there are two or three ways of doing Yes ma'am.

[02:02:47]>> One is that if you have invited the bid then whoever has quoted the highest price you'll have to give him. If you have also taken a provision that the negotiation has to be taken place because you do not want the entire big uh the the contract to be given to one then you can invite a negotiation to a higher second bidder but whether you want to match the highest bidder I can appreciate this but there must be something in the in the tender document itself there must be something in the in the in the statutory provisions you can't do it in this way And when you can ask for S2 when the H1 has either declined or refused to do it then you can call the S2 there's >> a lot of way yes we are coming back and then dictating it now it is 1:30 dreadfulness.

[02:03:42]>> Yes.

[02:04:27]I think item 30 or fix it to before passing order after lunch.

[02:04:32]>> Yes, I will do it dictated. Don't worry.

[02:04:35]>> I'll just take I'm appearing for OP number six. I'll just take 3 minutes.

[02:04:40]I'll not take much of an office time.

[02:04:42]>> Where you sir? where you were >> I'm so sorry my lad in fact there was a motion for Passover being made but I'm so sorry that is I couldn't attend >> only I'll not take much time only 3 minutes >> what what for everything has been heard >> no I'll just ask >> thing is we wanted we wanted a single question >> solvent certificate the rules are there whether you can innovatively devise something which is not provided in the law >> no I I'll answer exactly That point.

[02:05:14]>> Yes. What is your answer? Tell us so that we will dictate. Just wait 31. Just wait for 31.

[02:05:20]>> Yes.

[02:05:21]>> Yes. Show us the law.

[02:05:24]>> In fact, the the tender notice was of the year 2021. Mad.

[02:05:29]The tender notice of the year 2021.

[02:05:32]>> Yes. There was a old act. There was a old act rule 2744 was invoked.

[02:05:39]>> Yes. 5744 does not create any kind of a mechanism that once you have used it will be deducted and it will not be used for any other purposes. Where is the provision 2744?

[02:05:54]>> I'll just I'll just read that is the in fact by taking >> it was read it was read twice twice you can read for the fourth time again fourth time read it what it says. I'm sorry valid I'll not repeat val but I'll simp I'll simply upon lordship that the ballad the committee in fact rejected his application only on the basis of 2744 mad >> by saying that whatever salvage certificate he has given me that was for a particular sat and that salvage certificate could not be used for subsequent silence >> where is the priision show us only >> there also privation There is no prohibition. There is no mechanism.

[02:06:37]>> Otherwise then 274 there is no other provision.

[02:06:40]>> Then then that is how they have interpreted. Get it done.

[02:06:45]>> Can it can you take a recourse which is not provided in the rule or go any kind of a government order government circular I can understand anything. You show us nothing is coming out.

[02:06:58]>> How the authority can pick and choose?

[02:07:02]Can can I read it again?

[02:07:04]>> Please read it. Read it for yourself.

[02:07:09]>> That says sub subject to other provisions of these rules for settlement of the quarry lease. The intending applicant may apply to the competent authority and a sealed cover for the grant of quiry lease for such area or areas in form M triplicate accompanied by the following documents. Then four Roman.

[02:07:29]>> Yes, please. A solveny certificate or a bank or bank guarantee >> valid for a period of 18 months.

[02:07:37]>> Correct.

[02:07:38]>> For an amount not less than the amount of additional charge offered >> and the royalty payable for the minimum guaranteed quantity >> for one whole year. So it says a servant certificate.

[02:07:54]>> Yes, I have seen this proposition. I know uh and I have taken a decision I have delivered a judgment in Kolkata high court. What is the impact of it?

[02:08:04]So, so I'm grateful that is I just take a leaf from your book just to say please concern GP GP Singh's statute the the the interpretation of statute where one particular topic has been dedicated there for E and and the and that that is the reason I'm emphasizing upon the word and and the decision taken by the authorities because that amount of two 2 crores 59 lakhs is inadequate pilot for the purpose of pilot No, it is adequate as per the format.

[02:08:39]But they say that since he has also applied the same solveny certificate in another. So on that basis it is less from where he got it. I just wanted to know.

[02:08:55]>> Accepting this in fact the clarification ought to fall from the government. But I can only say >> that is what I say. There should be a clarificatory note. There should be a clarificatory government circular order.

[02:09:07]I ask there is none.

[02:09:11]>> Can I just can I just not say one sentence and conclude that one sentence is valid? Then then the entire process will become it become will become oious for the simple reason but the solvent certificate of one particular amount one can operate in five six queries.

[02:09:30]>> Sir there is no certaintity that he can he can be adjusted as the highest bidder in all. Kindly consider the flip side of it. No, it is it is cutting it.

[02:09:41]>> Please consider if he has applied for five, he may be he may not be highest bidder in four but he has applied for others. So fifth also becoming a highest bidder he has to be thrown out. Is it a correct way of understanding sir >> that is equid the only thing is >> you'll have to see both the pros and cons >> equ distribution and giving opport opportunity for all that is what isable where is a retable calculation there's nothing just imagine that only it talks about there cannot be multiple solveny certificate it has to be one solveny of a person is an individual Can he say that my solveny in this tender is more my solveny in another tender is less? He has a similar uniform solveny.

[02:10:33]Now the question is that if he has applied for four and it appears that in three he is not an highest bidder. He is not awarded but he a highest bidder in a fourth one. Then what would happen sir?

[02:10:47]since he has applied for others so he will not get it and he will be disqualified here sir that is I think unreasonable unthinkable sir >> I simply s just to do away with just to do away do away with >> no sir on the day on the day of his application sorry I I don't think so on the day of his application he has to >> that is all I impress upon I'm not sure >> that is what we put a question to as well as >> my I have placed the proceedings with the records for your lordship >> understood that you have taken taken a decision. Let us understand that what is the the law. We do not have the un amended copy. We just wanted an amended provision so that we can quote and then interpret it.

[02:11:48]>> The old one un amended. We have the amended one >> because this has been amended the entire rules 27 in 28th November 2025.

[02:11:57]>> Yes.

[02:12:00]All this all this aspects being argued because this entire tender process emanated in the year 2021. That is why >> so the law which was prevalent at that point of time has to be understood.

[02:12:12]>> Yes. Exactly. Exactly.

[02:12:13]>> That is what we wanted. We don't have a book. We are on a virtual mode.
