Authority: Supreme Court of India, Bench of Hon'ble Mr. Justice Joymalya Bagchi & Hon'ble Mr. Justice Vipul M. Pancholi (Partial Court Working Days Bench)
Order Date: 17-06-2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: EMS Limited (Petitioner) vs. State of Rajasthan & others (Respondents).
- The dispute concerned a tender process that had been withdrawn in 2025.
- The L‑1 tenderer had earlier challenged the cancellation in a writ proceeding before the High Court, but that challenge was subsequently withdrawn.
- EMS Limited was not the L‑1 bidder and had not been issued any Letter of Acceptance (LOA); consequently, the Court found it could not demonstrate a breach of any fundamental right under Article 132 of the Constitution.
- The Court noted that the petitioner could still participate in any future tender processes in accordance with law.
Final Outcome
- The writ petition is dismissed.
- The petitioner is at liberty to participate in any future tenders that may be floated.
- All pending applications, if any, are ordered to be disposed of.
