M/S GANPATI RV-TALLERES ALEGRIA TRC.P.LD vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the writ petition challenging the rejection of the appellant's commercial bid for a tender by the Ministry of Railways, citing non-compliance with eligibility criteria as per Clause 4.1.1 of the tender document. The Court emphasized that the rejection was based on the appellant's failure to meet the ISO 9001 certification requirement, and that the High Court's decision was justified as the appellant did not provide sufficient evidence to counter the claims of misrepresentation. The Court affirmed the principle that adherence to tender conditions is paramount for bid acceptance.
