Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the rejection of the appellant's tender for land reserved for educational use was unreasonable as the appellant's memorandum indicated it was constituted for establishing schools, thus qualifying under the tender requirements. The Court emphasized that the authority must consider all eligible tenders fairly, as per the principles of administrative law. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision to allow the appellant's tender, granting him the allotment of the land in question.
