The Supreme Court has temporarily stayed the ruling of the
Bombay High Court that directed the nodal transport provider BEST -
Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport - to re-issue the tender for
electric buses, terming the earlier process 'incorrect' where Hyderabad-based
Evey Trans Pvt Ltd had won the bid.
The court was hearing a plea filed by the Telangana-based
company to challenge the High Court's order in the Supreme Court. "Interim
stay of the (Bombay High Court) judgment is granted till the next date of
hearing insofar as the petitioner (Evey Trans) is concerned," said the
division bench of Justice S. Abdul Nazeer and Justice JK Maheshwari in its
order of July 14. "The supply of the buses, if any, by the petitioner, is
subject to the result of these petitions and the petitioner(s) shall not claim
any equity at a later stage."
