(Oral). - As per pleadings on record, petitioner had submitted a bid online for SCO Site No.93, Sector 56, Gurugram in pursuance to an auction process that had been initiated by the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (hereinafter to be referred to as the 'Respondent'). The bid amount was for Rs.4,73,68,800/-.

Instant writ petition has been filed raising a prayer that such bid for the site in question be accepted, being the highest bid. Further grievance raised in the petition is that no specific order has been passed informing the petitioner as regards the fate of his bid, the same having been accepted or rejected. A challenge has also been laid to Clause No.8 and 16 of the E-Auction Policy/Brochure (Annexure P-2) circulated by the respondent-Pradhikaran vide letter dated 16.06.2020 on the assertion that the afore-noticed clauses are arbitrary and unconstitutional.
