Hearing a petition by SRP Clean Enviro Engineers Private Limited, which had challenged the tender, Justice Nagmohandas directed the petitioners to approach the competent appellate authority within 10 days’ time and observed that the tender awarded to Matha Overseas Private Limited will be subject to the outcome in that appeal.

The petitioners had alleged that Matha Overseas Private Limited and Canara Overseas Private Limited company, which had submitted bids are one and the same. The petitioners further alleged that the authorities had modified conditions to suit them by allowing trucks along with the 10-wheeler tippers for transportation of waste.

They further said that the documents pertaining to technical bids of the participants including the successful bidder was not furnished and by allowing two companies having same directors to participate in the tender, the conditions had been violated, they said.

The tender for six months involved transportation of 1,000 tonnes of waste per day from landfill sites to processing units.
