    Case Summary: WPC 2265/2026 – Sohan Lal Nayak v. State of Chhattisgarh The High Court of Chhattisgarh dismissed the writ petition filed by Sohan Lal Nayak, a registered "B" Class government contractor who had emerged as the lowest bidder (L-1) in a tender for constructing a Post-Matric Boys Hostel. The State cancelled the original tender (dated 13.03.2026) and re-floated a fresh tender (dated 24.04.2026) after discovering that the petitioner had submitted a forged certificate from engineer Mr. Ankit Gupta, who explicitly denied issuing any such document. The Court held that mere L-1 status does not confer vested rights, tendering authorities possess discretion to cancel/re-invite tenders in public interest, and the petitioner failed to establish mala fide action or illegality warranting judicial interference. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
