Quick Summary: PRR Construction wanted to join a bid for road work but couldn't get the needed certificates. The court dismissed their request but allowed them to challenge the rejection.

PRR Construction's Tender Trouble

PRR Construction, a company that builds roads and buildings, wanted to join a government bid. The bid was for road work funded by the Central Government. To join, they needed certificates from the Divisional Engineer about the work site and their machinery.

The Missing Certificates

PRR Construction applied for these certificates on September 25, 2025, but didn't get them. Without these, they couldn't participate in the bidding process. They felt this was unfair and filed a request to get the certificates or be allowed to join the bid without them.

"The Superintending Engineer shouldn't have stopped PRR Construction from its important chance to participate in the bidding process."

Court's Decision

The case was heard by Judge M. Dhandapani. The lawyer for The Superintending Engineer said PRR Construction's request was turned down on October 3, 2025. PRR Construction's lawyer asked for permission to challenge this decision.

What's Next for PRR Construction?

The court turned down the request but gave PRR Construction the option to challenge the rejection in a legal way. This means they can still fight for their chance to participate in the bid.
