The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the work order issued to the appellants by the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation, emphasizing that while the disqualification of the writ petitioners was justified, the award of the work order to the appellants constituted an extraordinary favor.

The judgment reinforces the principle that adherence to tender conditions is paramount in public procurement processes.
