2. Short factual conspectus giving rise to the filing of the instant petition is that the respondents had issued a tender for leasing out spaces in compartments of various trains, originating from various stations like New Delhi Railway Station (NDLS), Sarai Rohila, Hazrat Nizamuddin and so on, and, for the purpose, issued advertisement in the leading newspapers. The advertisement appearing in the newspapers referred for the loading in the leased spaces for train no.12616 Ex. Sarai Rohilla – Chennai Central at serial no. 14, as appearing in Annexure-A1 to the counter affidavit of the respondents.

It is the case of the petitioner that when the offer came to be given by the respondents for loading of the spaces in F-1 Compartment of train no.12616, the respondents offered Ex. Delhi Sarai Rohila instead of NDLS. It
