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 was constituted for the purpose of establishing schools, thus qualifying under the tender requirements. The Court emphasized that the authority must consider all eligible tenders fairly, and ultimately ruled that the appellant's tender should be accepted, leading to the allotment of the entire plot of land to the appellant. This decision was made in light of the principles of fairness and transparency in public procurement processes.
