K.P. PERIANNAN vs GOVERNMENT OF TAMIL NADU AND ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Madras High Court, affirming that the appellant's bid for the arrack shop was confirmed on 28.6.1981 under the Tamil Nadu Toddy and Arrack Shops (Disposals in Auction) Rules, 1981, framed under Section 4 of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act. The Court ruled that the appellant could not seek relief as he had bid under certain conditions and was liable for the resultant loss due to the re-auction. The Court clarified that the subsequent re-auctions did not invalidate the initial confirmation of the bid, thus rejecting the appellant's claims.
