Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 17-07-2026
Case Overview
- Parties: Corpus Enterprises Private Limited (petitioner) vs. State of Andhra Pradesh & another (respondent), with Respondent No.2 being APSFL.
- The Special Leave Petition challenges the High Court’s order dated 10-07-2026 in WA No. 832/2026, which declined an interim stay of proceedings related to Request for Proposal (RFP) Ref. No. APSFL/MW-DRM SW/2026 dated 21-05-2026.
- Petitioner's grievance: a contract for the same work is already subsisting and two show‑cause notices issued against it prevent the required declaration that bidders have no such notices, thereby barring participation in the bid.
- Respondent (State) contends that the petitioner failed to execute the entrusted work and that, given the nature of the work, the authority is not barred from issuing a fresh tender.
Final Outcome
- The Supreme Court ordered that until the main writ petition is heard and decided on 21-07-2026, no further steps should be taken in the RFP and its corrigendum.
- The Special Leave Petition is disposed of.
