Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the clause allowing the government to reject any tender without assigning reasons does not violate Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court found that the Judicial Commissioner erred in setting aside the lease granted to the appellant based solely on the government's willingness to reconsider the decision. The Court reaffirmed that the government is not obligated to accept the highest tender in contracts, thus allowing the appeal and reinstating the lease granted to the appellant.
