The writ petition was allowed and the respondent was directed to handover the shops to the petitioners, in case they have emerged as the highest bidders and deposited the requisite amount. This contempt case is filed alleging that the respondent has not complied with the directions of this Court. A counter-affidavit is filed stating inter alia that the petitioners did not emerge as the highest bidders, much less their offer was accepted. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The writ petition was allowed at the admission stage and the order in the writ petition came to be passed in the light of similar orders passed in other cases. It was proceeded on the assumption that the offer of the petitioners was accepted. In the counter-affidavit filed in the contempt case, the respondent has clearly stated that the offer of the petitioners was not accepted at all. In that view of the matter, it cannot be said that there was any violation on the part of the respondent. Hence, the contempt case is closed. It shall be open to the petitioners to seek refund of the amount deposited by them. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:21.06.2010 kdl
