Thus, it is held that the reasoning of the High Court, finding fault with disqualification of the technical bid of M/s. BVG India Ltd. cannot be sustained in the eye of law. The only other issue to be considered is with respect to disqualification of M/s. Pashupatinath Distributors Private Limite .....

Krishidhan Seeds Private Limited: (2023) 1 SCC 209: 11. An acknowledgment in a balance sheet without a qualification can be relied upon for the purpose of the proceedings under the IBC.

Ltd. Other certificates submitted by the Respondent 1 also did not satisfy the eligibility requirement. 64.2 A bidder who submits a bid .....
