2015 (3) TMI 1302 - HC - Indian LawsBid process - whether the Bid submitted is substantially responsive and whether the rejection of the bid on a hyper technical ground would be in the public interest requiring wider participation of bidders to ensure healthy competition more so in view of the fact that the no unfair advantage had been gained by the petitioner in this process and the petitioners were not stealing a march over any of their competitors by altering their bid amount? - Held that:- We are of the view that the Bid of the Petitioner cannot be held to be materially non-responsive. Rejecting the Bid of the Petitioner, in these circumstances, would be hyper technical and would not be in the public interest requiring wider participation of bidders to ensure healthy competition. Further, in our view, no unfair advantage has been gained by the petitioners in this process and the petitioners are not stealing a march over any of their competitors by altering their bid amount. In view, of the above, the respondents are directed to consider the bid of the petitioners and not to reject the same as non-responsive on this ground. The Writ Petition is allowed, with no orders as to costs.
