Order Date: 10 November 2026
Case Overview
- Petition: WPA 31706 of 2026 filed by M/s Neogi Construction & Co. & Anr. (petitioners) against The State of West Bengal & Ors. (respondents).
- Petitioners represented by Mr. Sobhan Majumder and Ms. Kalpita Paul; respondents represented by Mr. Subhankar Chakraborty, Mr. Madhu Jana, Mr. Gopal Krishna Sarkar, and Mr. Ankit Kumar Mishra.
- The dispute arose from a disqualification of the petitioner as a bidder in an e‑tender notice dated 11 September 2026 because the bank solvency certificate submitted lacked a date.
- The disqualification was effected through a memo dated 4 November 2026 issued by the Chief Medical Officer of Health, Nadia (respondent No. 4).
- The Court referred to its earlier order in WPA 31703 of 2026, stating that the precedent set therein shall govern the present case.

- If the certificate is submitted within the stipulated time, respondent No. 4 must take a fresh decision on the petitioner’s eligibility as a qualified bidder.
- If the certificate is not submitted by the deadline, the impugned memo dated 4 November 2026 will revive, and the petitioner will remain disqualified.
- A copy of the order dated 10 November 2026 passed in WPA 31703 of 2026, countersigned by the Assistant Registrar (Court), is retained with the record.
