Summary: A court case in Madurai has led to an order for quick issuance of necessary certificates for a contractor to participate in a bidding process. The deadline for this action is December 30, 2025.
On December 26, 2025, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court, led by Justice R. Poornima, heard a case involving M/s. VK & Co. The company, represented by Mr. V. Kathiresan, filed a request against the Superintending Engineer of the National Highways, Madurai Circle.
M/s. VK & Co., a top-level contractor involved in government construction projects, needed two certificates: the Work Site Inspection Certificate and the Working Condition of Plants and Machineries Certificate. These were required to submit a bid as per a notice dated December 3, 2025.
"The company has sent an application on 18.12.2025, asking for the above certificates."
The court took up the case for a final decision immediately. The Government Lawyer, Mrs. Ahamed Yashmin, assured the court that the necessary certificates would be given by December 30, 2025, before 5:45 PM.
"The second person involved will check and give certificates to the eligible people before 5:45 PM on 30.12.2025."
With the assurance from the Government Lawyer, Justice R. Poornima closed the case. The Superintending Engineer was instructed to make sure proper inspection and issuance of the certificates happen by the specified date.
"This case is closed. There will be no costs ordered."
The case shows the importance of timely actions in government contract processes and the role of the courts in ensuring fairness and efficiency.
