The Supreme Court on Monday rejected Infrastructure Company Larsen & Toubro's Special Leave Petition (SLP) challenging the tendering process for the prestigious Sharavathi Pumped Storage project.
"We are not inclined to entertain the Special Leave Petition under Article 136 of the Constitution of India," the top court said. "The Special Leave Petition is accordingly dismissed," a bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said and dismissed the petition by the company L&T. Larsen & Toubro challenged the order of the Division Bench comprising Chief Justice NV Anjaria and Justice Krishna S Dixit of the Karnataka High Court in the Supreme Court, which dismissed its appeal. The tender for the Sharavathi pumped storage project, which is currently being run by KPCL, has been bagged by the Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd group, which quoted a lower price. The Sharavathi river is a vital source of hydroelectric power in the state of Karnataka. (ANI)
