Delhi High Court refuses to allow debarred contractor to participate in NHAI tender pending challenge to debarment order

The Delhi High Court has refused to permit a contractor debarred by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) from participating in a fresh toll collection tender, holding that the debarment order continues to operate until it is stayed or set aside. The Court observed that a bidder cannot circumvent the effect of an operative debarment order by arguing that the contractual period under the fresh tender would commence only after the debarment expires.Background
