The Supreme Court on Tuesday quashed a decision of the West Bengal authorities to cancel award of a contract for maintaining two underpasses in Kolkata to a private party without assigning any reason, saying it was a “classic textbook case of arbitrariness”.
A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra also set aside the judgement of the Calcutta High Court which upheld the cancellation of the contract.
“We are of the considered opinion that this is the classic textbook case of arbitrariness,” Justice Pardiwala said while pronouncing the verdict.
