The Court found the arrangement part of a broader DPD implementation framework aimed at reducing congestion, dwell time, and handling costs, rather than an unauthorised encroachment into private transport business. The challenge under Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) failed because the policy was viewed as a reasonable public-interest classification and no material showed illegality, mala fides, or unconstitutional discrimination or monopoly. The tender was therefore upheld and the writ petitions were dismissed. en-us Fri, 04 Aug 2017 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 18:48:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=346522 A port authority's route-wise tender for DPD container transport was treated as a regulatory measure within its statutory power to handle, move, store, and deliver goods in the port area.
