Intervention arises only where the process is arbitrary, irrational, mala fide, discriminatory, inconsistent with tender conditions, or harmful to public interest. A bidder that participated without seeking clarification on GST cannot revise its bid after rejection through a later offer at a different rate. In the absence of unequal treatment, favouritism, mala fides or procedural irregularity, rejection of the quotation and award of the catering contract did not warrant interference. Outstanding dues under an earlier contract were independent of the fresh tender's validity. en-us Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 08 Sep 2026 08:42:25 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=798437 Judicial review of government tender decisions is confined to the legality, fairness and rationality of the decision-making process, not a re-evaluation of bids or substitution of the tendering authority's commercial assessment.
