Public auction

Whether a public auction can be treated as a valid public auction if it is not patronized by the public or not participated by the public.

In the instant matter, State Bank of India organized a public auction which was not patronized by any public participation /void of public participation. In absence of any public bid/participation, SBI submitted its bid and declared the sale confirmed in its favour.

Now SBI has been claiming that it has purchased the assets in the public auction whereas the owner of the assets is alleging that SBI has fraudulently grabbed its assets on the excuse of a fabricated public auction sale.

The borrower is suffering since last ten years. Further, the bank is also holding movable assets of the borrower since last ten years unsold, unattended and recently issued a recovery certificate without setting off, of the value of the movable assets. Can a criminal suit be filed against the bank?

“You are expected to promote and expand the business of the company. you will not directly or indirectly, either solely or jointly, engage in any service or other business or profession whether during or, after the hours of employment without written sanction from the company”

Land reacquired under land acquisition act

Our land was acquired by the government in the year 2000 and compensation was also paid. But after 4 years we regained our land by the order of the court, acquired lands were not utilised by the government for the purpose they were acquired. Now the government again published notification for land acquisition in the year 2014 and acquired our land.

We got permission from the government towards the use of land. We are cultivating our lands. Can the government again acquire our land which was released in our favour? some parts of the land are taken separately for buildings and accommodation for companies. It is purely private use instead of public use. Our case had dismissed in a lower court against this acquisition. Can we get relief from the high court?

Land acquired by collector

I am a resident of a district dominated by tribals in Maharashtra. My grandfather purchased land from a tribal member on consideration in the year 1963. We have been on possession of the land till the year 1982 but a collector of our district sent a notice for acquisition of that land and acquired it without giving a due price of the land and without our permission. No other tribal is ready to buy this from the government so I filed a case for regaining of it from the government. My request is rejected by the collector and that property vested in the government. What should I do for getting it back?

Right to irrigation of agricultural land

I was Bataidar of the agricultural land of Solan, Himachal Pradesh. I had been Bataidar from 1967 to 1977 and thereafter I purchased that land from the owner. There is a common well for irrigation of land. When I was bataidar I used that well for irrigation but when I became the owner of the land my previous landlord objected to using that well. He filed a civil suit for the injunction order for stopping me to use that well.

I have right to irrigation of agricultural land because due to irrigation I have paid more money otherwise the land would be sold on less price. His suit is dismissed by the court of the junior and senior division. Now he filed an appeal before the high court. Section 36 of the H.P. Tenancy and land reform act gives such right to me.

Cancellation of contract

My company had signed a contract with another company for digging the land for construction of railway lines and rail bridges. At the time of the contract, all the terms and conditions were finalised by the other company. Other company published a tender for the construction work.

My company was the only one company selected for that work through tender. It is mandatory for the company to take the permission of the forest department which was refused by the said department.

So I want cancellation of the contract on the ground that when permission is rejected by the government so work cannot be initiated but the other company file a suit for breach of contract and compensation for the cancellation of the contract. What should I do?
