in5points
The Supreme Court dismissed the Union government's plea against a Delhi High Court judgment quashing the MEA's visa services tender for missions in Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Singapore, and Canberra.
The court cited a lack of transparency in the tender process as the reason for quashing it.
The Supreme Court directed the MEA to conduct a fresh tender process within three months.
The court allowed existing visa services to continue operating during the transition to avoid disruption.
