Bombay High Court

ONEXTEL LIMITEDversusBANK OF BARODA

Decided: 1 September 2026
Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition is dismissed and disposed of.

Summary

The petitioner, OneXtel Limited, filed a writ petition challenging the respondents’ decision to scrap a tender in which the petitioner was a participant. The petitioner’s senior counsel submitted a photocopy of the communication from the respondents indicating the tender’s cancellation and argued that the matter could be disposed of without further adjudication. The respondents did not contest the filing, and no substantive arguments on the legality of the tender cancellation were advanced. The Court examined the limited material and found no ground to entertain the petition further. Consequently, the Court ordered the petition to be disposed of. The disposition reflects the Court’s view that the petition lacked merit and required no detailed hearing.

Issues considered

Whether the petitioner is entitled to relief against the respondents’ cancellation of the tender.
