The Supreme Court has rejected petition challenging Punjab and Haryana High Court order which struck down the decision by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (HSIIDC) to conduct manual auction from the stage of end of e- auction.
We are conscious of the limited power of judicial review. However, when it is seen that the decision of the authority is arbitrary, irrational, and disproportionate, having regard to complaints received only with regard to few plots and yet all 130 plots being put to manual auction after abandoning the e-auction process, the intervention by the High Court with the decision of the authority cannot, in our view, be faulted
the top court said.
The order was passed by a bench comprising of Justice Hrishikesh Roy and Justice Pankaj Mithal recently. The Supreme Court has dismissed the bunch of appeals filed by HSIIDC, state-owned agency of Haryana Government, against order 13.02.2019 of High Court of Punjab & Haryana
Some of the successful highest bidders both in E-auction and Manual auctions filed Applications for impleadment and intervention in the above mentioned Appeals represented through Sumit Gehlot
and T.S. Thakran Advocates of Fidelegal Advocates and Solicitors, on the ground that their constitutional right to property have been infringed and despite being successful bidder in both the auctions have not
been allotted plots by HSIIDC despite passing of more than 5 years, which have been allowed by the Supreme Court.
Advocate Sumit Gehlot, appearing, who represented successful highest bidders in the above appeals, has welcomed the decision by saying that this is a celebrated Judgment of the Supreme Court, which will help many successful highest bidders’ writs pending before the Punjab & Haryana High Court and will stop the arbitrary, and discriminatory decisions of HSIIDC of cancelling the bids of successful highest bidders in Manesar, Sohna, Sonipat, Panipat, without assigning any reason as per their whims and fancies.
