Super court throw out charges for unfair tender3 Oct 2024 15:38
This just sums up the state of the coal supply to the power plants,this relates to Matabari….tender offers for supply of coal were dragged through court,it’s so serious they ruled today no proceedings will be taken as to re tender (6 months) will seriously affect the coal supply to matabari…..
“The emphatic contention of the respondent No.5 company, the procuring entity, is that the tender in question has been floated with the object to get urgent supply of coal to maintain production in the power generation plant at Matarbari, Chottogram to ensure uninterrupted power in the region.
Considering the exigency of the situation as is prevailing at the moment and above all, taking into consideration of the welfare of the State as well as national interest this Court refrains from giving direction upon the respondent No.5 to hold tender afresh for procurement of coal for the power plant in question and accordingly, leave the matter in question in the hand of the respondent No.5 company to make final decision on the proposal/offer so made by the added respondent No.6 to be taken with the approval of the respondent government”
