The Madras High Court has restrained the Tamil Nadu Police Housing Corporation Limited (TNPHCL) from issuing a work order to a private company for the construction of modern sports facilities for holding high jump and throwing events, besides laying a synthetic athletics track, at Rajarathinam Stadium in Egmore, Chennai, at an outlay of ₹12 crore.
Justice M. Dhandapani granted the interim injunction pursuant to a writ petition filed by an unsuccessful bidder, Advanced Sport Technologies LLP, against the successful bidder, Michezo Sports Infrastructure Private Limited. The petitioner had accused the successful bidder of not having met the pre-qualification criteria, even for the opening of the technical bids.
