2020 (2) TMI 1246 - SC - Indian LawsLegality of Award of Tender - case of High Court is that the tender of the writ petitioner should have been treated as the lowest tender and the loss caused to the Government is roughly about 63 lakhs - HELD THAT:- At this stage, we are only dealing with the issue of interim relief. We are not going into the merits of the case which will require detailed hearing. We, however, cannot lose sight of the fact that the tender in question was floated in the year 2018. The High Court has cancelled the tender and ordered retender - The tender has not been awarded in favour of M/s. Almighty Techserv. Fresh tendering may lead to long delay in procuring all these videoscopes which are urgently required by customs authority to scan the imported goods. If a fresh tender for supply of videoscopes is floated we are not even sure whether the Government will gain or lose in monetary terms. The public interest requires that the Government be permitted to procure the videoscopes from M/s. ASVA Power Systems India Pvt. Ltd. and the Department is permitted to do so. Interim Relief granted.
