The allegation of disqualifying bias from a decision-maker's family connection with one bidder was rejected, as the participation did not invalidate the process on the facts. The Court held that tender criteria must be applied uniformly and rationally; Bharati Cellular's experience was wrongly assessed through its collaborator Talkland, and Tata Cellular's bid required reconsideration on the correct factual basis. The contention that the apex committee was bypassed was also rejected. en-us Tue, 26 Jul 1994 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 14 Jul 2025 16:12:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=156320 Judicial review in government tender matters is confined to the legality of the decision-making process, not the merits of expert commercial assessment, and intervention lies only for arbitrariness, mala fides, discrimination, irrationality, procedural impropriety, or bias.
