Tender – CIDCO Plot – Demanding higher price after acceptance of lower price bid

In response to the tenders for allotment of residential / commercial plots in various sectors of Navi Mumbai nodes, separate bids for each plot were submitted.   In all nine bidders had given bids for Plot No.27.  The petitioner was the highest bidder at Rs.1,42,578/- per sq.mt.  for Plot NO.27 adm 32.12.92 sq.mts. in Sector 9 Node Ghansoli, Navi Mumbai.  

 However, for the plots nos.24 and 26, in the vicinity of plot no.27, the highest bids were at Rs.1,72,245/- and Rs.2,12,589/-.

 CIDCO, therefore, called the highest bidders in Ghansoli Node to match the price of Rs.2,12,589/- including the petitioner for Plot No.27.

 However, it had offered to allot Plot No.26 to Juhi Habitat at the original quoted price of Rs.1,72,245/-.

 HELD that the reason for making allotment of Plot No.26 in favour of Juhi Habitat at originally quoted price existed in the case of the Petitioner as well.   However, why similar treatment is not given to the Petitioner has not been explained in any manner.   The additional affidavit of CIDCO makes the case of discrimination more apparent.  CIDCO is directed to issue allotment letter for plot No.27 to the petitioner at the rate of Rs.1,72,245/- per sq.mt.

 Judgment dated  30.7.2025 of the High Court of Bombay in Writ Petition No.13145 of 2023 of Neelkanth Infratech   Vs.   The City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Ltd.
