Directorate Of Education & Ors vs Educomp Datamatics Ltd. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the extent of judicial review under Article 226 of the Constitution concerning tender eligibility criteria. It held that the High Court erred in altering the tender terms based on perceived inappropriateness, emphasizing that the financial turnover requirement of Rs. 20 crores was arbitrary and lacked a nexus to the objective of enhancing computer education quality. The Court reinstated the original tender terms, allowing for firms with a turnover of Rs. 2 crores or more to participate, thereby ensuring broader competition and adherence to the educational goals.
