Supreme Court To Hear Centre's Plea On Overseas Visa Services Tender Tomorrow

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a petition filed by the Central government on Friday concerning a tender for Consular, Passport, and Visa (CPV) services. This legal move comes after the Delhi High Court previously set aside the tender process, prompting the government to seek judicial intervention from the apex court.

Reports indicate that the bench will examine the validity of the High Court's ruling and assess the procedural grounds on which the tender was invalidated. The outcome of the hearing is expected to impact how overseas identity and travel documents are processed through outsourced service providers.

Legal representatives for the Centre are expected to argue for the restoration of the tender to ensure the continuity of essential services for Indian citizens abroad. The case has been listed for a hearing tomorrow before a designated bench. Source: PTI
