IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT APPEAL NO.1100 OF 2010 DATED:28.3.2011 Between: Sri Mallur Aswartha Narayana Reddy … Appellant And The State of Andhra Pradesh Rep. by its Principal Secretary (Endowment) Revenue, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT APPEAL NO.1100 OF 2010 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) Refusal to confirm the bid of the appellant – writ petitioner relating to Ac.90.34 cents, i.e., 11 plots, in Sy. No.103/2 and 110/2 of Gollapalli Village came to be questioned by medium of a writ petition on the ground that there was no tenable reason to reject the bid. The contention could not prevail on the writ Court in view of the reasoning advanced by the respondent - Commissioner, Endowments Department, in the impugned proceedings, depicting that the bid although above the market value yet it was on lower side as compared to the bids secured in the tender-cum-public auction held on an earlier occasion. In our opinion view taken is well founded. Next it was contended that failure of the Commissioner to refuse confirmation within the period stipulated in the Rules would amount to deemed confirmation. Submission is imaginary because under Section 80(1)(c) of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987 alienation can take effect if it has confirmation by the Commissioner. Admittedly, confirmation is wanting. Thus considering from any angle interference with the judgment of the learned single Judge is uncalled for. Dismissed. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 28-3-2011 B. Narsinga Rao
