Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals by the Airport Authority of India against the Delhi High Court's decision that struck down certain criteria in a tender for ground handling services as discriminatory and arbitrary. The court examined the legality of the sub-categorization of airports and the stipulation regarding previous work experience and minimum turnover requirements. Ultimately, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's ruling, reinforcing the principles of non-discrimination and fairness in public procurement processes.
