BY GP K C SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO.8466 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 15TH DAY OF MARCH, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner claims to be one of the participants in the public auction of a property measuring 12.14 ares conducted by the second respondent on 28.8.2009. On that day, it is alleged that the second respondent announced an adjournment of the sale with an assurance that the next date would be notified in the daily newspapers. The petitioner alleges that contrary to the assurance, a sale has been conducted without publishing any such notice. Though the petitioner filed a petition for cancellation of the same before the third respondent, the petition has been rejected without even hearing the petitioner. The petitioner has therefore approached this court seeking a writ of certiorari to quash Ext.P2 order. He has also sought for a issue a writ of mandamus to conduct the auction afresh. 2. The petitioner has not been able to show that any right of his has been infringed or violated by the proceedings that are under challenge. The petitioner has no right to participate in a public auction Wpc 8466/2010 2 or to insist that he should be given notice before such an auction is conducted. I notice that the auction was conducted in execution proceedings initiated by the Special Sale Officer of the District Co- operative Bank, Alappuzha. There is no evidence or material placed before me to warrant a conclusion that there was any illegality or irregularity vitiating the proceedings. In the above circumstances, this writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. The petitioner's right to pursue other legal remedies in the matter, if he has any subsisting grievance, is left open. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE lgk
