JAIPUR: The Jaipur Development Authority’s (JDA) recent tender for constructing signal-free structures at B2B bypass and Laxmi Mandir has come under the scanner. The civic body’s law wing highlighted the irregularity after conducting a probe based on an anonymous complaint. The state government has also sought a factual report of the case.
An official source said that the JDA has allegedly favoured a firm, which had submitted an affidavit with wrong facts, and set it free without imposing the penalty. Moreover, without inviting the re-tenders, the civic body awarded the project to a firm, which quoted the second highest rate to construct the project. As per the norms, a firm participating in the tender process has to submit an affidavit that it has no legal cases. However, there were cases going against the firm in the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
