AIRPORT AUTHORITY OF INDIA vs CENTRE FOR AVIATION POLICY, SAFETY AND RESEARCH (CAPSR)

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.
