    Summary The Odisha High Court quashed the tender cancellation notice (dated 05.01.2026) issued by Odisha Mining Corporation Limited for the Kodingamali Bauxite Mine contract. The court found that the Chairman's decision to cancel the tender after the petitioner emerged as the successful lowest bidder following reverse auction bidding was arbitrary and lacked foundational justification. The court held that the Chairman impermissibly disregarded technical experts' opinions supporting the eligibility criteria and acted upon an unsuccessful bidder's post-auction objection, thereby violating principles of administrative law and Article 14 of the Constitution.
