Montecarlo Ltd vs Ntpc Ltd on 18 October, 2016
23. That apart, the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Agmatel India
Private Limited (supra) after taking into consideration various
decisions including Afcons (supra), Silppi Constructions (supra) and
Montecarlo (supra) held that the author of the tender document is
the best person to understand and appreciate its requirement and if
its interpretation is manifestly in consonance with the language of the
tender document or subserves the purpose for which the tender is
floated, the Court should follow the principle of restraint. It was
further observed that even if the interpretation given to the tender
document by the person inviting offers is not acceptable to the
constitutional court, that by itself would not be a reason for
interfering with the interpretation given.
