https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=773233 Gauhati HC held that tender committee's decision declaring two bidders as technically qualified was arbitrary and discriminatory. The court found selective relaxation of essential tender conditions (Clauses 1.9 and 1.10) was not applied uniformly to all bidders, and irrelevant documents like Income Tax Returns for 2022-2023 were improperly considered. Citing Poddar Steel Corporation precedent, the court emphasized essential tender conditions must be rigidly enforced or relaxed equally for all participants. The committee's resolution declaring the two respondents' bids as qualified was deemed unsustainable. Matter remanded to tender committee for fresh consideration of remaining valid bidders. en-us Tue, 17 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 20 Jun 2025 08:34:52 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=773233 Gauhati HC held that tender committee's decision declaring two bidders as technically qualified was arbitrary and discriminatory.
