Judgment text excerpt
The Delhi High Court's judgment regarding the tender process for the supply of transmitters was challenged, focusing on the interpretation of the financial bids submitted by Arraycom and BECIL. The Court held that the bid of Arraycom, which stated that the Central Sales Tax (CST) was inclusive, did not preclude the addition of CST if concessional forms were not provided. The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision, emphasizing the need for transparency and adherence to the principles of Article 14 of the Constitution in public tenders, ultimately ruling in favor of BECIL as the lowest bidder.
