Judgment text excerpt

The Delhi High Court's judgment in Writ Petition(C) No.7865 of 2008 was analyzed by the Supreme Court, which held that the interpretation of Arraycom's bid was ambiguous regarding the inclusion of Central Sales Tax under the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956. The Court emphasized that while Article 14 mandates transparency in government contracts, the bid's wording did not clearly indicate that sales tax was included, leading to the conclusion that Arraycom's bid could not be considered as final without clarification. The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision, ruling in favor of BECIL as the lowest bidder.
