Issues: Petitioner's bid rejection based on non-compliance of amended clause.

Analysis:
The judgment delivered by Mr. K.M. Thaker and Mr. V.P. Patel, JJ. addresses the issue of the petitioner's bid rejection due to alleged non-compliance of the amended clause. The court heard the petitioner's advocate, Mr. Chirag K Sukhwani, who presented a note in the form of Speaking to Minutes. The court ordered the correction of a word in the order dated 20.2.2019. The Note for Speaking to Minutes was disposed of accordingly on the same day.

Furthermore, the court, in another oral order on the same date, directed that notice be issued to the respondent, returnable on 25.2.2019. Until the returnable date, the court restrained the respondents from rejecting or disqualifying the petitioner's bid solely on the grounds of alleged non-compliance of the amended clause No.6.4.2.1 introduced via Corrigendum No.9 dated 2.2.2019, specifically concerning Project Nos. 4 and 5 for which the petitioner had submitted bids. The court allowed direct service on the same day to ensure compliance with the order.
