Stating that the High Court at that stage should have exercised caution, the Court said that if the courts would exercise power of judicial review in such a manner it is most likely to cause confusion and also bring jeopardy in public interest. An aggrieved party can approach the Court at the appropriate stage, not when the bids are being considered. Once the price bid was opened, a bidder could not have submitted representations on his own and seek a mandamus from the Court to take certain aspects into consideration. It is appreciable the owner in certain kind of tenders call the bidders for negotiations to show fairness transparently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court also noticed that the issue pertaining to correctness of Consultant\u2019s report has to be adjudged and scrutinized within the scope of limited power of judicial review in the obtaining factual score and in the present case the Consultant had analysed the offers regard being had to the tender conditions. Be it ingeminated that the analysis and determination made by the financial consultant has been carried out before receipt of any additional document from either side. The documents were called for by the owner from both the qualifying bidders in a transparent manner and the same have been considered at the time of evaluation by the Consultant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bench of Dipak Misra and Shiva Kirti Singh, JJ held that Courts cannot sit in appeal over the financial consultant\u2019s assessment. The financial computation involved, the capacity and efficiency of the bidder and the perception of feasibility of completion of the project have to be left to the wisdom of the financial experts and consultants.
