Spie Capag vs Union Of India & Anr

Tovo Engineering Ltd. (2006) 7 SCC 592. The Court restored the writ petition to the High Court's file, allowing both parties to present further arguments and evidence. The appeal was allowed, and the status of bank guarantees and bonds was maintained during the proceedings.
