https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=782904 HC upheld the tender award to respondent no. 2, holding that 18% GST is chargeable on the "Human Health and Social Care Services" forming the subject of the tender, based on the clarification obtained by DSHM from the GST Department, treated as contemporanea expositio. The court found no infraction of tender conditions or arbitrariness in DSHM evaluating bids on a GST-inclusive basis and requiring an indemnity bond from respondent no. 2. The authority's decision to consider prices inclusive of GST fell within its overriding powers and was not perverse. Considering that services were already being rendered and public interest, the HC declined to interfere. Petition dismissed. en-us Wed, 26 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 06 Dec 2025 08:46:08 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=782904 HC upheld the tender award to respondent no. 2, holding that 18% GST is chargeable on the "Human Health and Social Care Services" forming the subject of the tender, based on the clarification obtained by DSHM from the GST Department, treated as contemporanea expositio.
