This case is an apt illustration of Shakespearean adage

‘Much ado about nothing’. The non-matching patent printing errors in a

part of tender documents have been blown out of proportion, which has

resulted in filing of this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution

for commanding the respondent-Power Grid Corporation to accept the

price of the 125MVAR, 420Kv 3Ph Bus Reactor (excluding insulating

oil) as has been given in Schedule-1 and to accordingly amend the letter

of award dated 25.3.2008 (P-10) to make it consonance with the offer

made by the petitioner Company in its price proposal (Schedule 1) of

C.W.P. No. 6820 of 2008

the Bid Form. Still further it has been prayed to direct the respondent
