Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the provisional acceptance of the Appellant's bid for a plot of land by MHADA was valid and should be reinstated, as the Respondent's bid was not properly considered due to lack of notice to the Appellant. The Court found that the High Court's order to cancel the Appellant's bid and initiate a fresh tender process was erroneous, as it failed to recognize the Appellant's rights as the highest bidder. The Court emphasized the need for equitable treatment in auction settlements and directed that the Appellant's bid be honored, thereby reversing the High Court's decision.
