    Case Summary: WP/1938/2026 Court Decision: Both writ petitions were dismissed. The court upheld the respondent authorities' decision to cancel an e-auction for pond ash disposal at Bhusawal Thermal Power Station and issue a fresh tender notice. Key Reasoning: Although Krishna Enterprises (and Sai Infrastructure in the companion petition) were declared highest bidders and deposited security amounts, the court found the cancellation was neither arbitrary nor mala fide. An inquiry committee had identified serious procedural irregularities in bidder scrutiny, EMD treatment, and record-keeping. The court held that while bidders are entitled to fair treatment, they acquire no vested right until contract execution, and where process integrity is compromised, authorities may legitimately cancel and re-tender despite higher bids received. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
