An Enforcement Directorate raid on a sister concern connected with the Commonwealth Games scam is not a ground to terminate a contract, a division bench of the Delhi high court has declared. The Apparel Export Promotion Council had invited tenders and offered the contract for the February 2011 textile fair to an events management company, Meroform (India) Ltd. Later there was a telecast in private channels that its sister company was raided in scam investigation. Citing this telecast, the council declined to give the contract to the events management company, though large amounts were spent by it. It moved the high court challenging the termination of the contract. The court stated that the council’s decision was illegal. However, it did not grant any monetary relief to the affected company and pointed out that the remedy lay in the civil court.
