M/S Subhash Projects & Marketing Ltd vs West Bengal Power Development ...

The Supreme Court held that the award of a contract to Subhash Projects by the West Bengal Power Development Corporation was illegal, as it should have been awarded to M/s Larson & Toubro under the tender process. The Court found that the High Court's decision to award compensation instead of striking down the contract was insufficient. The Court directed that the contract be awarded to L & T, thereby overruling the High Court's partial relief and emphasizing the need for adherence to tender specifications as outlined in the relevant procurement guidelines.
