Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's cancellation of the tender awarded to M/s. Almighty Techserv was justified, but interim relief was granted allowing the Department to procure videoscopes from M/s. ASVA Power Systems India Pvt. Ltd. The Court noted that the tender process was initiated in 2018 and emphasized the urgency of the equipment needed by the customs authority. It ordered a deduction of Rs. 63 lakhs from the payment to M/s. ASVA Power Systems, with further orders to be decided at the final hearing.
