52. In the present facts, it is clear that BCCL and India have laid recourse to
Clauses of the NIT, whether it be to justify condonation of delay of Respondent
No. 6 in submitting performance bank guarantees or their decision to resume
auction on grounds of technical failure. BCCL having authored these documents,
is better placed to appreciate their requirements and interpret them. (Afcons

The Bharat Coking Coal Ltd. vs Amr Dev Prabha on 18 March, 2020
In the judgment in Bharat Coking Coal Ltd. v. AMR Dev Prabha 2020
SCC OnLine SC 335, under the heading "Deference to authority's
interpretation", this Court stated:
The Silppi Constructions Contractors vs Union Of India on 21 June, 2019
"20. The essence of the law laid down in the judgments referred to above
is the exercise of restraint and caution; the need for overwhelming public
interest to justify judicial intervention in matters of contract involving the state
instrumentalities; the courts should give way to the opinion of the experts
unless the decision is totally arbitrary or unreasonable; the court does not sit
like a court of appeal over the appropriate authority; the court must realise
that the authority floating the tender is the best judge of its requirements and,
therefore, the court's interference should be minimal. The authority which
floats the contract or tender, and has authored the tender documents is the best
judge as to how the documents have to be interpreted. If two interpretations
are possible then the interpretation of the author must be accepted. The courts
will only interfere to prevent arbitrariness, irrationality, bias, mala fides or
perversity. With this approach in mind we shall deal with the present case."
Jagdish Mandal vs State Of Orissa & Ors on 11 December, 2006
18. Insofar as Condition No. 27 of the N.I.T. prescribing work experience of
at least 5 years of not less than the value of Rs. 2 crores is concerned, suffice it to
say that the expert body, being the Tender Opening Committee, consisting of four
members, clearly found that this eligibility condition had been satisfied by the
Appellant before us. Without therefore going into the assessment of the
documents that have been supplied to this Court, it is well settled that unless
arbitrariness or mala fide on the part of the tendering authority is alleged, the
expert evaluation of a particular tender, particularly when it comes to technical
evaluation, is not to be second-guessed by a writ court. Thus, in Jagdish Mandal
v. State of Orissa, (2007) 14 SCC 517, this Court noted:
Montecarlo Ltd vs Ntpc Ltd on 18 October, 2016
