Madras High Court Holds Tender Cancellation Unjustified Where Single Qualified Bidder Meets All Conditions and GST Change Does Not Affect Contract Terms
The Madras High Court has ruled that cancellation of a government tender is not justified solely due to a single qualified bidder or changes in GST rates, where the contract terms expressly insulate price from tax fluctuations and the bidder meets all eligibility criteria. The Court directed authorities to proceed with awarding the tender if conditions are fulfilled.
