Haryana Urban Dev. Authority & Ors vs Orchid Infrastructure Developers ...

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the High Court's judgment and restoring the decree of the first appellate court. The Court held that the rejection of the bid by Haryana Urban Development Authority was unjustified, as the plaintiff's bid was the highest and met the auction conditions. The Court imposed costs of Rs. 5 lakhs on the plaintiff, to be deposited in the Advocates’ Welfare Fund and the Supreme Court Employees’ Welfare Fund.
