ORDER :

GANNAMANENI RAMAKRISHNA PRASAD, J.

Heard Sri P. Adithya Harsha Vardhan, learned Counsel appearing for the Writ Petitioner and Smt. S. Pranathi, learned Standing Counsel for the Andhra Pradesh Medical Services and Infrastructure Corporation.

2. The present Writ Petition is filed seeking following relief:

It is therefore prayed that this Hon’ble High Court may be pleased to issue writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of writ of mandamus declaring the action of respondent no.2 in not providing proper access to the petitioner on the e-procurement portal on account of technical glitches and thereby preventing the petitioner from uploading the bid documents within the prescribed time limit as illegal, arbitrary, and violative of Articles 14 and 19(1)(g), 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondent no.2 to consider and receive the petitioner's technical bid for the subject tender vide Tender notice no.7.6A/APMSIDC/2025-26 dated. 27-09-2025, treating the same as duly submitted within the prescribed time, in view of the fact that the petitioner had submitted the physical set of documents and paid all requisite fees and deposits within the time limit.

3. As per the Tender Notification dated 27.09.2025, the last date for uploading of the technical and financial bid along with the documents is on or before 03:00 P.M on 10.11.2025. It is the contention of the Writ Petitioner that when the Writ Petitioner was uploading the documents at around 02:50 P.M, the Writ Petitioner has encountered technical glitch, by which the financial bid could not be uploaded. It is the submission of the learned Counsel for the Writ Petitioner that the cropping-up of technical snag, which prevented the Petitioner from uploading of all the documents within time, was beyond the control of the Writ Petitioner, and that the Petitioner’s bid ought to have been accepted by the Respondents, inasmuch as the Writ Petitioner had submitted the hard copies of the financial bid in the Office on the same date. The crucial time is between 02:50 P.M and 03.00 P.M on 10.11.2025, and according to the Petitioner, a technical glitch prevented the Writ Petitioner from uploading all the documents.

4. In the cases of this nature, the burden to prove that there was, in fact, a technical glitch lies heavily on the party proposing such contention. Since no such document to establish that there was, in fact, a technical glitch around the crucial time has been filed along with the Writ Petition, this Court had granted liberty to the Petitioner to produce any evidence to show that there was, in fact, a technical glitch during the relevant time and posted this Writ Petition today for further consideration. The Writ Petitioner has not been able to produce any such document which is convincing to the Court to come to a conclusion that the Petitioner could not upload the documents for reasons beyond its control.

5. In this view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to entertain this Writ Petition. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs.

6. Interlocutory Applications, if any, stand closed in terms of this order.
