Holding
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the matter to the High Court for fresh determination, as the earlier Va Tech precedent had been overruled.
Summary
The State of Madhya Pradesh and others filed a civil appeal (No. 4016 of 2018) challenging the High Court's dismissal of a revision petition filed by M/s Keti Construction. The appeal hinged on the applicability of a precedent set in Va Tech Escher Wyass Flovel Ltd. v. MPSE Board, which the High Court had relied upon. The Supreme Court noted that the Va Tech decision had been overruled by Madhya Pradesh Rural Road Development Authority & Anr. v. L.G. Chaudhary Engineers and Contractors (2012). Consequently, the Court held that the High Court's order must be set aside and the matter remanded for fresh consideration in accordance with the later ruling. The appeal was thereafter disposed of, and the parties were directed to appear before the High Court for further proceedings.
Issues considered
- Whether the High Court's dismissal of the revision petition is valid in view of the overruling of Va Tech by the Madhya Pradesh Rural Road Development Authority judgment.
