Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the tender process for providing pre-paid telephone services in Bolangir-Bhawanipatna, finding the rejection of the respondent's tender arbitrary and unfair. The Court emphasized that the tender process lacked clear stipulations in the advertisement, which vitiated the entire process. The appeal challenging the High Court's order was dismissed, affirming the need for transparency and fairness in public procurement processes.
