UMESH KUMAR vs COMMNR., MERRUT DIV., MEERUT . — C.A. No. 3117/2006

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed Umesh Kumar's appeals and set aside a High Court order dated March 6, 2006, that would have granted the toll tax collection contract to Ram Prasad (Respondent No. 5) for one year (April 2006–March 2007) upon deposit of one crore rupees. The Court found that Umesh Kumar, as the highest tenderer in a competitive bidding process for a three-year contract (April 2004–March 2007), was entitled to retain his full contract period, and that the High Court could not curtail it through an interim order pending writ petition resolution. No costs were awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
