Asia Foundation & Construction Ltd vs Trafalgar House Construction (I) Ltd. & ... on 17 December, 1996

In Asia Foundation and Construction Ltd. v. Trafalgar House Construction (1) Ltd., (1997) 1 SCC 738, the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that judicial review of contractual transactions of public bodies was permissible to prevent arbitrariness, favouratism and use of power by collateral purposes and further where it would be detrimental in public interest to interfere. The later emphasis is on allowing certain flexibility in administrative decision- making; and a decision can be challenged on the Wednesbury Principle of Unreasonableness, i.e. the decision was so unreasonable that no sensible person would have arrived at it; else, it should not be disturbed; and that if a reasonable procedure had been followed, the decision should not be challenged except on the Wednesbury Principle of Unreasonableness.
