Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court emphasized the paramount importance of the Tehri Pump Storage Plant project for national interest, citing the delays caused by legal disputes between multinational companies Voith GMBH and Alstom. The Court noted that despite previous orders aimed at expediting the tender process, significant progress had not been made, which could lead to national losses. The Court intervened to set aside the interim order of the High Court, directing the appellant to proceed with inviting fresh bids to ensure the project's timely execution.
