PER COURT :- 1.

The petitioner's request before us is that the authorities have to permit the petitioner to resort to the Jio Tagging, though challenge in this petition is to the very condition of introducing/insisting Jio Tagging certificate, as it violates the privacy of the tenderer and exposes certain details of the tenderer.
