    Summary The Orissa High Court set aside East Coast Railway's rejection of Konkan Railway Corporation Limited's bid, finding the rejection arbitrary and not grounded in the tender requirements. The court determined that a Board Resolution extract was not mandatory to submit with the bid, and the railway authority exceeded its authority by rejecting the bid on this non-existent ground. The court remitted the matter for fresh technical evaluation within six weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
