1. The Executive Engineer, Seppa Division, PWD, Arunachal Pradesh (Respondent No. 3) issued a Notice Inviting Bid (NIB) on 28.5.2009 for construction of Bailey Bridge between Namra and many other villages under Seijosa Circle, the bid documents of which are to be purchased from his office on payment of fee of Rs. 3,000 from 8.6.2009 to 20.6.2009. The petitioner firm sent one Shri Kuli Tachang as its authorised representative to procure the tender/bid documents from the office of the respondent No. 3 on 26.6.2009 but he was not supplied with the same on the ground that the tender date had already expired. The original date for procuring the tender papers was extended up to 30.6.2009 by issuing a Corrigendum dated 19th June, 2009. Having come to know about the same, the petitioner firm requested one Shri Matung Tachang to purchase the tender documents on its behalf. He purchased the tender documents on payment of requisite fees in cash. The petitioner firm is represented by Shri Kuli Tachang and the said Matung Tachang is his elder brother but unfortunately Shri Matung Tachang, being illiterate, failed to mention the name of the petitioner firm and by mistake
