U.P.AVAS EVAM VIKAS PARISHAD vs OM PRAKASH SHARMA

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court which allowed the second appeal of the respondent under the Uttar Pradesh Avas Evam Vikas Parishad Adhiniyam, 1965. The Court found that the statutory body had improperly rejected the highest bid made by the respondent during an auction for a cinema plot, thus violating principles of fairness and transparency in public auctions. The Court ruled that the plaintiff was entitled to the allotment of the plot as per the auction terms, thereby affirming the lower court's decree in favor of the respondent.
