    CASE SUMMARY: WPA 10962/2026 The Calcutta High Court dismissed Flemingo Dutyfree Shop's writ petition challenging the tender evaluation process for duty-free outlets at Kolkata airport. The court found no arbitrariness, mala fides, or patent illegality in the Airport Authority's decision to permit Nuance Group to resubmit deficient documents or its deviation from the CPP Portal for communications. The court held that the RFP's Clause 7.8.5 expressly authorized seeking clarifications, that the same procedure was uniformly applied to all bidders, and that judicial intervention in procurement decisions requires demonstrating palpable impropriety—a threshold not met here. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
