Mrs.N.N.Shah,for Petitioner. Mr.P.P.Chavan i/b. M/s.Little & Co.,for Respondents. CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH & K.K.TATED, JJ. DATED: 3rd November,2009 P.C.:- 1. The petitioner has purchased the property in auction. There were electricity dues against the previous owner. The case of the petitioner relying on two judgments of the Supreme Court, copies of which 2 are annexed to this petition, is that as an auction purchaser he is not liable to pay the electricity charges which were to be paid by the previous owner. Perusal of the judgments of the Supreme Court relied on by the petitioner shows that the Supreme Court has considered the question whether the auction purchaser is statutorily liable to pay electricity dues which are payable by the previous owner. But apart from the statutory liability, there is also a possibility that the auction purchaser being liable to pay because of the terms in the Auction notice. There can be a term in the auction notice that the purchaser will get the property on as is where is basis and will be liable to pay all outgoings and electricity charges that may be due in relation to the property. Therefore, we asked the learned Counsel appearing for petitioner to show us the terms in the auction notice on the basis of which he has purchased the property. There are neither relevant averments made in the petition nor the auction terms were produced. In our opinion, in the absence of said material being produced on record, we cannot grant any relief to the petitioner. The 3 petition is therefore, rejected. Ad-interim order stands vacated. No order as to costs. (D.K.DESHMUKH, J.) (K.K.TATED, J.)
