The petitioner had approached the High Court contending that Indian bidders were discriminated against while awarding contracts.
The High Court while passing a direction allowing petitioners to make a representation to PM, had also made observations on the government’s much publicised ‘Make in India’ scheme.
“Keeping in view the fact that the Government of India is laying emphasis on “Make in India (Atma-Nirbharta), the grievances of the petitioner appear to be correct and, in our view, require serious consideration at the highest level,” the High Court had said in its order.
The Central government moved the top court challenging the observations made by the Delhi High Court.
