A vacation bench of Justices A S Oka and M M Sundresh was told by senior
advocate A M Singhvi, appearing for the petitioner, that the matter may be
heard after vacation.
Singhvi said that urgency in the matter has “kind of slipped away”
as between yesterday and today, the bid has been opened. “Between yesterday and
today, they have opened the bid and the commercials are such that in any case,
I don't think for the actual figures, I can match the person whose bid has been
opened. So, your lordships need not be troubled now,” he said.
The Supreme Court
Wednesday 29 June said it would hear
after vacation a plea filed by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (Adani) against the Bombay High Court order dismissing its petition challenging the disqualification of its
bid in a tender issued by the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) for upgradation of a container terminal in
Navi Mumbai.
The apex court will resume normal functioning post
the ongoing vacation on July 11.
