Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Clause 2.22.0 (ix) of tender conditions, questioning whether it should be applied rigidly or allow for flexibility in light of justice. The court referenced previous jurisprudence to emphasize that procedural orders should not be seen as absolute, allowing for circumstances that may warrant an extension of time. Ultimately, the court ruled in favor of the appellant, recognizing the need for a balanced approach to procedural compliance.
