Ramkishore Patel & Others vs State Of Madhya Pradesh on 3 October, 1996
"[2] The case of the petitioner is that in pursuance to the
NIT issued by the respondent for the work of photography
and videography in the various constituencies of Ujjain
District during the State Assembly Election of 2018, the
petitioner's bid was accepted and the work order was issued
by executing the agreement dated 31/10/2018 @ Rs.1935/-
per day for the videography and Rs.941/- per day for the
photography. The petitioner had successfully completed the
said work as the State Assembly Elections were held on
12/12/2018. The petitioner was issued the fresh order on
10/3/2019 to carry out the work of videography and
photography in the same four constituencies for the Lok
Sabha Election of 2019 without issuing any NIT to do the
work on the same rate in which the petitioner had done the
work for State Legislative Assembly Election. Further case of
the petitioner is that the petitioner had started the work of
Lok Sabha Election and subsequently the NIT for the
videography and photography of Lok Sabha work for the
District Ujjain was issued on 20/3/2019. The petitioner had
unsuccessfully challenged the NIT before this Court, but
thereafter no fresh work order was issued to any of the
parties nor the work of the petitioner was cancelled. On the
contrary, on 14/5/2019 additional requirement of cameras for
covering 12 polling booth was made which was duly
complied with by the petitioner. The grievance of the
petitioner started when on 15/5/2019 the respondent had
issued the impugned order Annexure P/1 stating that the
petitioner will be paid @ Rs.774/- per day for the work of
HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH, BENCH AT INDORE
Writ Petition No.21579/2019
(Patel Brothers Vs. State of M. P.)

According to the petitioner this order was communicated to
the petitioner on 20th May, 2019. The petitioner had filed
objection against this order which has been rejected by the
impugned order dated 21/5/2019.
