Katju, A.C.J. and Sunil Ambwani, J.<\/p>\n<p>1. This writ petition filed against the impugned order dated 3.9.2004 (Annexure-14 to the writ petition) by which the contract granted to the petitioner for running slaughter house for a period of 10 years has been cancelled.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. In paragraph 27 of the petition, it has been stated that the auction for the contract was advertised in the newspaper known as &#8216;Anavaran Gatha&#8217;. We are not satisfied that this is a well-known newspaper having wide circulation.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. It has been repeatedly held by this Court that a contract of public property can ordinarily only be granted after advertising the same in well-known newspapers having wide circulation in the area. In Matsya Jivi Sahakari Samiti Balepar v. Sub Divisional Officer, Mehadawal and Ors., 2003 (3) AWC 1755 : AIR 2003 All 1 76, it was held in para 7 as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;7. It has been repeatedly held by this Court that fishery&#8217; lease can only be granted after advertising the same in well known newspapers having wide circulation in the area and thereafter holding public auction\/public tender vide Desh Kumar v. State of U.P., 1998 (89) RD 385 ; Abdul Gaffar v. State of U.P., 1998 (2) AWC 958 : 1997 (88) RD 656 ; Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 31943 of 2002, decided on 7.8.2002 ; Ram Bharosey Lal v. State of U.P., 2002 (4) AWC 3097 : 2002 All CJ 1148. If it is not granted in accordance with this procedure there will be violation of Article 14 of the Constitution, and the public exchequer will also suffer. Since it is not disputed that the fishery lease was granted to respondent No. 3 without advertising it in well known news papers having wide circulation and thereafter holding public auction\/public tender we are of the opinion that the lease granted to respondent No. 3 was wholly illegal and it is hereby quashed.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>4. In A.S. Advertising Co., Meerut and another v. Nagar Nigam, Meerut and another, 2001 (1) AWC 28 and Karan Singh v. State of U.P. and Ors., 2001 (1) AWC 224, the same view, that a contract of public property can ordinarily be granted only after advertising in well-known newspapers having wide circulation and thereafter holding public auction\/public tender, was reiterated. Such contracts are not largesse and there must be transparency in grant of such contracts.\n<\/p>\n<p>5. Hence, this writ petition has no merits and is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>6. We direct that any amount deposited by the petitioner towards this contract shall be refunded to him expeditiously. Fresh auction may be held expeditiously after advertising it in well-known newspaper having wide circulation and thereafter holding public auction\/public tender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allahabad High Court Mohd.
