Quick Summary: The Madras High Court ordered that certificates be given right away to M/S T.P.S. Construction Company so they could join an important bridge construction bid in Salem. The court stressed the need to hurry because of the bid deadline.

The Petition: Racing Against Time

On December 3, 2025, M/S T.P.S. Construction Company, led by Mr. T.P.S. Sekar, asked the court to quickly give them the Work Site Inspection Certificate and the Working Condition of Plants and Machinery Certificate. These papers were needed to join a bid for building a big bridge on the Athimugam - Perandapalli - Thorapalli road. The bid was announced on November 29, 2025.

The Tender Deadline: A Tight Schedule

The deadline to submit the needed certificates was December 16, 2025. The company said that if there was any delay in getting these certificates, they wouldn't be able to join the bid. The court talked about how urgent this was.

"If the Work Site Inspection Certificate is given at the last minute, it will stop the petitioner from joining the bid process."

The Court’s Decision: Quick Action

On December 15, 2025, Justice N. Sathish Kumar was in charge of the case. The court decided to handle the petition right away without waiting. Both sides agreed to this fast process.

The Respondents: Quick Compliance

The people who needed to give the certificates, including the Superintending Engineer and the Divisional Engineer from Nabard and Rural Roads Circle, were told to give the certificates right away. The Special Government Pleader, Mr. Yogesh Kannadasan, promised the court that the certificates would be given that same day.

Summary of the Verdict

The court noted the promise made by the Special Government Pleader and closed the case, making sure there were no extra costs involved. This decision allowed M/S T.P.S. Construction Company to continue with their bid application without any more delays.
