Dipak K. Ghosh vs State Of W.B. & Ors

The Supreme Court directed the Government of West Bengal to appoint a Government Valuer for assessing the construction cost of a bungalow, allowing the owner, Justice B.P. Banerjee (Retd.), to either accept the assessed price or opt for a public auction. The Court mandated that the auction process must be completed within six months and clarified that Justice Banerjee and his relatives are prohibited from bidding. The Court also extended the compliance timeline due to non-adherence by Justice Banerjee, emphasizing the need for cooperation in implementing the Court's earlier directions.
