Hyderabad Dec. 7: The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Friday said there were many discrepancies and irregularities in the ad hoc contracts given to firms for fabrication of bodies of APSRTC’s express buses.
A division bench consisting of acting chief justice Bilal Nazki and Ramesh Ranganathan made this observation after perusing the tender evaluation forms submitted by APSRTC.
The bench had on Thursday asked the standing counsel of APSRTC to submit tender evaluation forms. After reviewing them, the judges said that it required investigation by the police. “Why have you awarded the works on ad hoc basis without finalising the tenders?” asked the judges. “In some cases you have given contract to build the body of one bus and some cases you have given contract for more than a dozen buses. Why these discrepancies?”
The standing counsel informed the court that APSRTC has awarded contracts to about 13approved firms to build the bodies of 983 buses. The case was posted to Monday.
