Pritish vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors on 21 November, 2001
In support of the same,
reliance is placed on the case of Pritish (supra) and M/s KG Marketing India (supra). Likewise,
Mr. A.R Malhotra the learned counsel for the respondent No. 4 has also submitted that in view
of the petitioner having produced the signatures of all the three (3) firms, who claim to have
a joint venture agreement belatedly in the writ petition, while failing to upload the same, in
the tender process should be enquired upon to find out the truth. It may be noticed that in
the foregoing paragraph, that this Court had taken into account the fact that the respondent
No. 4 does not claim to have submitted the actual bank guarantee instrument but only the
form or format as was provided in the tender documents was subimittrd. At the same time,
the FDR submitted by the respondent No. 4 was accepted as a bank guarantee as per the
decision taken in the pre-bid meeting held on 10.11.2025. Likewise, this Court has also
observed that since the petitioner failed to upload the entire joint venture agreement, which
includes the signatures of all the three (3) firms at the time of submission of the bid,
submission of the complete joint venture agreement at this stage in the writ petition would
be of no consequence. In other words, this Court has accepted the decision taken by the
respondent authorities in not accepting the bid of the petitioner on this ground and therefore,
under the facts and circumstances, this Court does not find the necessity for directing a
preliminary inquiry, as prayed for by the petitioner.
The Silppi Constructions Contractors vs Union Of India on 21 June, 2019
In M/s Silppi Constructions Contractors (supra), the Hon'ble Apex Court in the given
facts of the case held that the Courts should exercise a lot of restraint while exercising their
powers of judicial review in contractual or commercial matters. That Courts should give way
to the opinion of the expertise unless the decision is totally arbitrary or unreasonable. If two
interpretations are possible, the interpretation of the employer must be accepted.
[30.] In the present case, as may be noticed, the petitioner failed to demonstrate its
financial soundness to the satisfaction of the tender authority and the decision taken could
not be said to be arbitrary, since the joint venture agreement submitted by the petitioner was
found to be with only one signatory. Therefore, when the petitioner did not qualify in the
bidding process, it cannot be said to have any legitimate grievance in the selection of
respondent No. 4, whose tender was otherwise found to be valid.
[31.] Having come to the above conclusion, further reference to the authorities relied upon
by the parties is found to be not necessary. In the result, the writ petition is found to be
without merit and the same is dismissed. Likewise, in view of what has been observed
hereinabove, the interlocutory application is also found to be without merit and the same is
dismissed. The interim order passed earlier stands vacated. Parties are directed to bear their
own costs.

(viii) G.J. Fernandez v. State of Karnataka & Ors., (1990) 2 SCC 488.
[14.] Mr. A. R. Malhotra, learned counsel for the respondent No. 4, submits that he adopts
the arguments advanced by the learned Advocate General. He further submits that the
ground of challenge, according to the petitioner is that no fresh EMD was presented by the
respondent No. 4 and the earlier EMD was carried forward. In this connection, the learned
counsel submits that as per the provisions of Rule - 42(5) of the Mizoram Public Procurement
Rules, 2020, the bid security originally deposited is to be taken into consideration in case bids
are re-invited. In the present case, the earlier NIT dated 19.09.2025 was superseded by the
second NIT dated 06.11.2025 by which re-tender of the works in question was made.
Therefore, as permissible under the Public Procurement Rules, the bid security of the
respondent No. 4, which was in the form of Fixed Deposit Receipt (FDR) was carried forward.
The learned counsel submits that insofar as the deletion of Clause - 2(iii) of the Instructions
to tenderers in the SBD, the petitioner never raised any grievance against the same and
instead participated in the tender process. After participating in the tender process and
becoming unsuccessful, the petitioner cannot now turn around and challenge the deletion of

the said clause.
