City Montessori School vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over plot no. 90-A/A-754, leased by the State Government to Gursharan Lal Srivastava and subsequently sold to M.M. Batra. The Court held that the auction process conducted by the State Government was flawed due to the school's failure to purchase the tender document within the stipulated time, leading to the cancellation of the school's bid. The Court affirmed the High Court's interim order maintaining status quo, emphasizing the need for adherence to procedural requirements in public auctions under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
