Delhi HC directs PWD to issue tender for Rajputana Rifles FOB
New Delhi The report highlighted the ordeal of over 3,000 soldiers of the regiment who were forced to march through a smelly culvert — which overflows during rains — four times a day to head to their parade ground as authorities failed to build an FOB. (Representative photo) The Delhi High Court on Monday directed the Public Works Department (PWD) to initiate the process for issuing tenders for the construction of a footover bridge (FOB) for the Rajputana Rifles, the oldest rifle regiment of the Indian Army, based out of Delhi Cantonment. The direction came in a suo motu proceeding initiated on a report published by HT in May. A bench of justices Prathiba M Singh and Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora issued the direction after perusing Delhi Cantonment Board's (DCB) status report which stated that all the authorities—including the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), Delhi Jal Board (DJB), PWD and Rajputana Rifles Regiment Centre—had agreed for completing the construction of the bridge within 10 months in the joint meetings conducted on July 10 and 24. According to the report, a short-term measure to construct a Bailey bridge was proposed. A Bailey bridge is a strong, modular structure, the parts of which can be assembled or moved when needed. The report was filed in response to the high court's June 18 order, directing stakeholders PWD, Delhi Cantonment Board (DCB) and the Delhi Traffic Police to hold a joint meeting in July to brainstorm an immediate solution to construct a bridge for the convenience of the soldiers. 'Simultaneously let the tender process for construction of the FOB be also initiated by the PWD and report be filed. In the meantime, the maintenance of the culvert will continue to be carried out,' the court said in its order, fixing August 29 as the next date of hearing. The court took suo motu cognisance of a report titled 'A smelly trail from barracks to grounds: Regiment's daily battle in Delhi,' published in these columns on May 26. The report highlighted the ordeal of over 3,000 soldiers of the regiment who were forced to march through a smelly culvert — which overflows during rains — four times a day to head to their parade ground as authorities failed to build an FOB. Taking the report's judicial notice, the court had called the situation 'unacceptable' noting that soldiers, as per the report, were required to pass through the culvert, slick with sludge, four times a day and that a request for a bridge was not fulfilled. On Monday, the DCB counsel informed the court that stakeholders had identified works, such as the shifting of utilities, but the exact location of the cables was not known and required inspection. Taking note, the bench directed TATA Power and BSES officials to conduct a joint inspection with the PWD executive engineer and DCB CEO on August 1 to identify the cables to be shifted, and the responsible agency. The same bench, while hearing suo motu proceedings on Delhi's waterlogging issue, expressed concern over the lack of coordination among various agencies responsible for managing the city's drainage system. It directed the Chief Secretary to consider appropriate measures, including the possibility of centralising the administration and management of flood control in the Capital. 'Time has come for the Delhi government to take a comprehensive decision as to the manner in which civic services in Delhi need to be managed and administered—one glaring example—is storm water drains in the management of MCD and sewage water drain under DJB. This has led to non maintenance of either of the lines leading to excessive flooding in Delhi, neither of the drain pipes are being properly managed by the agencies who seem to be passing the buck,' the court said in the order. It added, 'This order shall be placed before the Chief Secretary, Delhi Government, for being placed before to take a decision on some centralisation of administration and management of flooding in Delhi. If required, the matter may even be placed before the LG.'

Delhi HC upholds CRPF decision rejecting company's bid for arms supply
New Delhi, The Delhi High Court has upheld CRPF's decision rejecting a company's bid for supplying sniper rifles and ammunition, calling it fair and reasonable. Delhi HC upholds CRPF decision rejecting company's bid for arms supply A bench of Justices Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora and Rajneesh Kumar Gupta on July 1 passed the order acting on a petition filed by Stumpp Schuele Lewis Machine Tools Pvt. Ltd's, which alleged technical bias and unfair advantage to rival bidders. The bench said that the petitioner was given ample opportunity, including a second round of field trials, and was unable to point out any unfairness in the field trials. It rejected company's argument that weather conditions or mirage effects caused the petitioner's failure and said that allowing a third trial would undermine the procurement process and set a problematic precedent. "This court finds that the decision taken by respondent 2 in disqualifying the petitioner vide impugned rejection letter dated March 27, 2025 was not arbitrary, unreasonable or irrational as the petitioner was unable to point out any unfairness in the field trials," the bench said. The court noted that all bidders had agreed to the trial methodology in advance, and the petitioner's objections surfaced only after failing the trial, making them appear as an afterthought. The company contested its disqualification. Advocate Rohan Jaitley appeared for the Centre while advocates Varun Pratap Singh, Dev Pratap Shani, and Yogya Bhatia represented the CRPF. The company claimed that it used the specified ball/lock base ammunition whereas its competitors used "hollow point boat tail" type of rounds allegedly in violation of tender norms and international standards. The case stems from a CRPF tender issued on September 24, 2024, for 200 sniper rifles chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum and 20,000 rounds of ammunition. The first round, held in January 2025 in Pune, saw none of the bidders meeting all accuracy benchmarks. A second round in February at the CRPF academy in Gurugram resulted in two other companies passing as the petitioner failed to meet the 400-metre accuracy requirement.
