As per case facts, petitioners were disqualified from various Consular/Passport/Visa (CPV) service tenders at the technical bid stage, failing to meet the minimum qualifying score. They appealed, alleging the respondents ... failed to provide reasons or a detailed breakup of marks for their disqualification, or competitor scores, suspecting cartelisation and bid rigging, contrary to tender conditions and financial rules. The question arose whether the tendering authority was obligated to provide immediate detailed reasons and mark breakups for disqualification at the technical bid stage. Finally, the Court affirmed the petitioners' right to reasons but found no grounds for immediate intervention or mala fide. It prioritized public interest in avoiding tender delays and acknowledged the respondents' commitment to disclose detailed mark breakups and reasons *after* the tender process concludes and successful bidders are identified, allowing petitioners to pursue remedies if still aggrieved.
