Civil Special Appeal Writ No.726/2019 has been preferred assailing the order passed by the learned Single Judge dated 22.02.2019 whereby, the review petition was disposed of correcting the statement of fact in its earlier order dated 22.02.2018 and last two paras of the judgment were corrected and the direction of payment of interest on the delayed amount was recalled while maintaining the rest of the order. In order to understand the controversy involved, it would be apposite to notice some of the facts which have been carved out from the arguments advanced before the Court, as under:
Facts of the case
2. An invitation of bid was advertised by the RIICO for allotment of 13 acres undeveloped land situated in Akera Doongar, Tehsil Amer, District Jaipur on 22.03.2001. The land was to be allotted for industrial and non-indus
The withdrawal of an allotment must be justified, and reasons for administrative decisions must be valid and consistent. Natural justice principles must be upheld in administrative actions.
The court emphasized the legal principles related to the disposal of public properties, legitimate expectations, and the authority's discretion in allotment decisions.
(1) Land allotment authorities possess inherent right to cancel allotments upon violation of stipulated conditions – Judicial intervention in matters concerning land revocation should be circumscribe....
The court affirmed that a party cannot use writ jurisdiction to enforce contractual obligations, which must instead be pursued through appropriate civil or arbitration channels.
Writ petitions can be maintained against administrative actions affecting contracts, especially when principles of natural justice and public policy are at stake.
