Ravi Development vs Shree Krishna Prathisthan & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's ruling that the Swiss Challenge Method employed by MHADA for awarding contracts was arbitrary and illegal, violating principles of fairness and transparency. The Court emphasized that such methods must ensure equal opportunity and not confer undue advantage to any party, as per the principles of administrative law. Consequently, the contracts awarded to Ravi Development and others were quashed, reinforcing the need for a transparent bidding process in public contracts.
