| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition, affirming the decision of the Settlement Authorities who canceled the auction due to the petitioner's failure to deposit the required amount of the bid. The petitioner had made the highest bid of Rs. 10,000 but had only deposited a compensation book with a deferred value of Rs. 1,928, which was less than the required 1/4th of the bid amount. The court found no justification to interfere with the order, as the petitioner did not associate his brother with the bid nor made any further deposits towards the auction price after the bid was accepted. |
| Summary |
In the case of BEERUDDIN vs ALLAH BAKHSH, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed the validity of an auction cancellation under Settlement Scheme No. VIII. The petitioner, Beeruddin, had won the auction for shop No. 385/11, Muslim Bazar, Bhakkar, with a bid of Rs. 10,000. However, he deposited a compensation book with a deferred value of only Rs. 1,928, which was insufficient as it fell short of the required 1/4th of the bid amount. The auction was subsequently canceled by the Deputy Settlement Commissioner due to the failure to meet the payment requirements. The petitioner's appeal against the cancellation was dismissed as it was established that no notice was served, and the cancellation was based on the petitioner's default in payment. This ruling emphasizes the importance of adhering to auction terms and conditions, as well as the necessity for proper financial arrangements in legal transactions.
