The Court at the admission stage made the following : ORAL JUDGMENT: (per The Honourable Sri Devinder Gupta, the Chief Justice) The order of the learned Single Judge declining to grant any stay in the Writ Petition filed by the appellant is under challenge in this case. The petitioner-appellant is questioning the action of the respondent-Housing Board, owner of the plot, in conducting the auction of a plot adjacent to the petitioner’s plot. The petitioner- appellant says that he has offered the admitted amount to the respondents after negotiation, but, respondents, instead of agreeing to the petitioner’s request, are continuing with the public auction. We see no illegality or irregularity in the action of respondents in continuing the public auction. The petitioner-appellant can very well participate in the public auction. The Writ Appeal, therefore, is dismissed. _____________________ DEVINDER GUPTA, C.J. 3.12.2004. ________________________ M.NARAYANA REDDY, J. VR. To 1.
