2019 (6) TMI 1715 - SC - Indian LawsViolation of principles of natural justice - no reasons were given either while rejecting its tender or the appeals - HELD THAT:- The only companies incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956, are eligible to be enlisted as 'SS' Class Contractors. It is urged on behalf of the Petitioner that in various other places dealing with the documents required to be submitted for enlistment in MES, the terms proprietors, partners, directors have been used, meaning that even firms can be enlisted as 'SS' Class contractors. This contention cannot be agreed upon. The note quoted clearly indicates that only incorporated companies can be enlisted as 'SS' Class contractors. Furthermore, Clause 1.5 deals with the documents to be submitted by the contractor for enlistment in MES. It was faintly contended that the requirement of being a company would be only for MES enlisted contractors and not for other contractors. The answer to this lies in the eligibility criteria for other contractors referred to above wherein it has been clearly mentioned that they should meet the enlistment criteria of Class 'SS' MES Contractors. Even otherwise it would be a travesty of justice if enlisted contractors should only be limited companies and unlisted unknown contractors, could be a firm, individual etc. This is not the purpose of the criteria. There are no merit in the petitions which stand dismissed.
