Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by Level 9 BIZ Pvt. Ltd. against the High Court's order allowing M/s. Vasu Constructions to proceed with a tender despite prior irregularities noted by an independent committee. The Court emphasized that the High Court's acceptance of HIMUDA's withdrawal of the cancellation order lacked due diligence, violating principles of transparency and fairness in public procurement. The Supreme Court held that the tender process must adhere to established legal standards and remanded the matter for reconsideration, ensuring compliance with procedural norms under the relevant administrative laws.
