M/S B.S.N.Joshi & Sons Ltd vs Ajoy Mehta & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed a contempt proceeding against MAHAGENCO for failing to comply with its order dated 31.10.2006, which mandated a fresh consideration of the petitioner's tender based on specific criteria. The Court emphasized that the quantity of coal supplied by the petitioner to other entities should have been factored into the evaluation process. The Court held that MAHAGENCO's failure to consider this supply constituted a serious error, thereby reinforcing the need for adherence to procedural fairness in tender evaluations.
