Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court regarding the allotment of a contract for the supply of commercial vehicles under the e-N.I.T. No. 01 of 2020, stating that the Appellant met all technical eligibility criteria as per the General Order dated 30.03.2020, which extended the validity of service licenses due to COVID-19. The Court emphasized that the tendering authority is the best judge of eligibility and that the judicial review should respect their discretion. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling in favor of the Appellant.
