8. In view of the aforesaid findings, we find no merit in the writ petition No. 4963/94 and the same is accordingly dismissed.

9. So far as the other writ applications are concerned, the counsel for the petitioners therein adopted the arguments of the learned counsel for the petitioner in Civil Writ Petition No. 4963/94 with a supplementary submission with regard to non-furnishing of the deemed export certificate by the private respondents in the said writ applications. According to the learned counsel for the petitioners, the bids, of the private respondents were conditional upon grant of deemed export certificate and that non-furnishing of the said deemed export certificates by the private respondents made their bid unresponsive. We have given our anxious thoughts to the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners in the aforesaid Civil Writ Petitions. On going through the statement made in the counter affidavit, we are of the considered opinion that the bid of the respondent No. 3 was not conditional upon grant of deemed export certificate. Even if the petitioner cannot obtain the benefit of deemed export certificate that cannot have any consequential effect on the price quoted in its hid. It is, therefore, not possible to hold that non-supply of the deemed export certificate would affect the eligibility of the petitioner and disqualify him/or make his tender unresponsive. In view of our findings on C.W.P. No. 4963/94 and also our findings in the supplementary issue raised by the petitioner in the present applications, we do not find any merit in the Civil Writ Petitions Nos. 4964/94, 4965/94, 4966/94, and 28/95 also and accordingly, the Civil Writ Petitions also stand dismissed.
