Bidders undergoing Corporate Debt Restructuring also eligible - West Bengal Govt.

Government of West Bengal
Finance (audit) Department
“Nabanna”
Mandirtala, Howrah – 711 102
No. 2026-F(Y) Dated: 08.04.2014
MEMORANDUM
It has been brought to the notice of Finance Department that some State Government departments / offices / State PSU’s are disqualifying bidders simply because they have incurred losses or have applied for / are undergoing corporate debt restructuring (CDR).
Financial soundness is judged on the basis of net worth and turnover and hence there is no scope to render a bidder ineligible simply because the bidder failed to earn profit in some years.
All the departments / offices / PSU’s of the State Government are requested to review their bidding criteria to check that such undesirable financial criterion, i.e., disqualifying an otherwise eligible entity simply because it has incurred loss, or because it has applied for or is undergoing CDR, is not included in the eligibility conditions of a bidder.

Mere Agreement To Sell The Leased Property To Tenant Would Not Terminate Landlord-Tenant Relationship

In CIVIL APPEAL Nos. 1237­1238 OF 2019, Dr. H.K. Sharma vs Shri Ram Lal, the tenant had objected against the eviction suit filed by the landlord, claiming that the landlord-tenant relationship between them had ceased to exist by virtue of an agreement for sale entered between them and that he has already paid some money in advance based on the agreement.
