The 5th respondent in W.P.(C)No.16045\/07<\/p>\n<p>is the appellant in the writ appeal.               The writ<\/p>\n<p>petitioners committed default in payment of sales<\/p>\n<p>tax  arrears  as     also     arrears    due     to the  4th<\/p>\n<p>respondent bank.       In revenue sale, a property<\/p>\n<p>belonging to the defaulter firm was purchased by<\/p>\n<p>the appellant for an amount of Rs.19.90 lakhs.           The<\/p>\n<p>sale  was  held   on    25.4.2007      and    the  purchaser<\/p>\n<p>remitted  the   amount       within    the     due  date on<\/p>\n<p>22.5.2007.  The 8th respondent impleaded in the writ<\/p>\n<p>petition affirmed before the learned single Judge<\/p>\n<p>that he has a right to purchase the property for a<\/p>\n<p>price of Rs.10 lakhs in excess of the price quoted<\/p>\n<p>by the appellant\/auction purchaser.              The learned<\/p>\n<p>single Judge had stayed the confirmation of the<\/p>\n<p>W.A.No.2216 of 2007 &amp; con. cases<\/p>\n<p>                         :: 2 ::\n<\/p>\n<p>\nsale and proceeded to pass an order setting aside<\/p>\n<p>the sale in favour of the 5th respondent, on the<\/p>\n<p>additional 8th respondent paying to the appellant<\/p>\n<p>the entire amount in terms of Section 52 of the<\/p>\n<p>Revenue  Recovery   Act     {for  short  &#8216;the Act&#8217;},<\/p>\n<p>within a period three weeks from the date of the<\/p>\n<p>judgment.   There was a further direction to the<\/p>\n<p>additional 8th respondent to deposit the balance<\/p>\n<p>amount of the sale price of Rs.29 lakhs before<\/p>\n<p>the Tahsildar.     The Tahsildar was directed to<\/p>\n<p>make appropriate appropriations of the amount so<\/p>\n<p>remitted to the sales tax arrears in the first<\/p>\n<p>instance and make out the balance to the 4th<\/p>\n<p>respondent bank.       The bank was permitted to<\/p>\n<p>proceed against the defaulter for recovery of the<\/p>\n<p>balance amount.\n<\/p>\n<p>        3.    The   auction      purchaser  the  5th<\/p>\n<p>respondent in the writ petition has filed the<\/p>\n<p>appeal and the Bench proceeded to pass an interim<\/p>\n<p>stay of further proceedings on 10.9.2007.<\/p>\n<p>        4. In the meanwhile, taking note of the<\/p>\n<p>application filed by the defaulter under Section<\/p>\n<p>53 of the Act in respect of the revenue sale held<\/p>\n<p>on 25.4.2007, the collector proceeded to pass an<\/p>\n<p>W.A.No.2216 of 2007 &amp; con. cases<\/p>\n<p>                         :: 3 ::\n<\/p>\n<p>\norder on 12.2.2008 setting aside the auction sale<\/p>\n<p>conducted on 25.4.2007. The collector proceeded<\/p>\n<p>to note from the files forwarded to him as also<\/p>\n<p>from the report of the Tahsildar (RR) that a<\/p>\n<p>valuation of the property which was brought to<\/p>\n<p>sale is not seen to have been done prior to the<\/p>\n<p>auction.     Collector    went   on  to express his<\/p>\n<p>opinion that it is doubtful whether the auction<\/p>\n<p>process has been conducted impartially and the<\/p>\n<p>whole proceedings were not transparent.         The<\/p>\n<p>collector took note of the offer made by the<\/p>\n<p>additional 8th respondent in W.P.(C)No.16045\/07<\/p>\n<p>for purchase at Rs.10 lakhs above the price<\/p>\n<p>quoted by the appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>        5. For all those reasons, among others,<\/p>\n<p>the collector proceeded to set aside the auction<\/p>\n<p>sale conducted on 25.4.2007 as per Section 53 of<\/p>\n<p>the Act.   The collector also issued a direction<\/p>\n<p>to the Tahsildar (RR) to conduct a re-auction.<\/p>\n<p>This order passed by the Collector has been<\/p>\n<p>challenged in W.P.(C)No.10045\/08 by the appellant<\/p>\n<p>in W.A.No.2216\/07, and in W.P.(C)No.9642\/08, by<\/p>\n<p>the   additional    8th     respondent  in   W.P.(C)<\/p>\n<p>No.16045\/07.\n<\/p>\n<p>W.A.No.2216 of 2007 &amp; con. cases<\/p>\n<p>                         :: 4 ::\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        6. It is necessary to take note of another<\/p>\n<p>development which took place in the meanwhile.<\/p>\n<p>The  defaulter,     the     petitioner  in   W.P.(C)<\/p>\n<p>No.16045\/07 proceeded to discharge the entire<\/p>\n<p>sales tax arrears due to the Government under the<\/p>\n<p>amnesty    scheme,     2008.        Thereupon,  the<\/p>\n<p>requisitioning authority issued a communication<\/p>\n<p>to the Revenue Recovery authority, to lift the<\/p>\n<p>attachment on the premise that there are no<\/p>\n<p>outstanding arrears due from the defaulter.<\/p>\n<p>        7. We heard learned counsel on both sides.<\/p>\n<p>        8. The direction issued by the learned<\/p>\n<p>single Judge in W.P.(C)No.16045\/07 for re-auction<\/p>\n<p>is not necessary at this stage in circumstances<\/p>\n<p>where the defaulter had later discharged the<\/p>\n<p>arrears due to the Government.       Even apart from<\/p>\n<p>the direction issued by the learned single Judge,<\/p>\n<p>which is the subject matter of the writ appeal,<\/p>\n<p>the Collector has proceeded to set aside the<\/p>\n<p>auction held on 25.4.2007 and set aside the<\/p>\n<p>proceedings under Section 53 of the Act as per<\/p>\n<p>the order dated 12.2.2008 impugned in W.P.(C)<\/p>\n<p>No.9642\/08 and 1004\/08. What now survives for<\/p>\n<p>consideration is whether any grounds have been<\/p>\n<p>W.A.No.2216 of 2007 &amp; con. cases<\/p>\n<p>                         :: 5 ::\n<\/p>\n<p>\nmade out for interference with the order passed<\/p>\n<p>by the District Collector.       We have perused the<\/p>\n<p>order and we take note of the fact that the<\/p>\n<p>defaulter was prompt in approaching the District<\/p>\n<p>Collector on 30.4.2007, to set aside the sale<\/p>\n<p>held on 25.4.2007.    We also take note of the fact<\/p>\n<p>that the collector has entered a specific finding<\/p>\n<p>that an evaluation does not seen to have been<\/p>\n<p>done prior to the auction.      Collector had rightly<\/p>\n<p>taken note of the fact that a better price was<\/p>\n<p>reported for the property on an earlier occasion.<\/p>\n<p>The collector has the jurisdiction to confirm the<\/p>\n<p>auction or set aside the sale under Section 53 of<\/p>\n<p>the  Act.   If   the   collector    finds  from  the<\/p>\n<p>materials available that a better price could<\/p>\n<p>have   been   obtained     for   the  property,  had<\/p>\n<p>appropriate steps been taken by the auctioning<\/p>\n<p>officer in that regard, then he has the power to<\/p>\n<p>set aside the sale and direct re-auction.     From a<\/p>\n<p>reading of the order and from the attendant<\/p>\n<p>circumstances, we find that the Collector has<\/p>\n<p>exercised his power in a proper and legal manner.<\/p>\n<p>We also take note of the fact that in the<\/p>\n<p>meanwhile the defaulter had actually remitted the<\/p>\n<p>W.A.No.2216 of 2007 &amp; con. cases<\/p>\n<p>                         :: 6 ::\n<\/p>\n<p>\namount due to the Government.        Therefore, at any<\/p>\n<p>rate, it would not be fair to permit a stranger<\/p>\n<p>auction purchaser to proceed to purchase the<\/p>\n<p>property or permit another stranger to bid for<\/p>\n<p>the property.    We find no grounds to interfere<\/p>\n<p>with the order passed by the District Collector<\/p>\n<p>on 12.2.2008 setting aside held on 25.4.2007.<\/p>\n<p>        9. But we take note of the fact that<\/p>\n<p>auction purchaser namely the appellant has been<\/p>\n<p>put to certain trouble and as a matter of fact he<\/p>\n<p>had remitted the amount due within the time<\/p>\n<p>prescribed.   He has been       deprived of the use of<\/p>\n<p>the money deposited by him.          In the facts and<\/p>\n<p>circumstances of the case, we are of the view<\/p>\n<p>that he is eligible to be compensated.<\/p>\n<p>        10. Accordingly, we direct the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>in W.P.(C)No.16045\/07 viz., the 1st respondent in<\/p>\n<p>the writ appeal, to pay the appellant an amount<\/p>\n<p>equivalent to interest at the rate 12%, from<\/p>\n<p>22.5.2007,   on  the    amount     deposited  by   the<\/p>\n<p>appellant in the auction sale held on 25.4.2007.<\/p>\n<p>Such amount by way of interest shall be paid<\/p>\n<p>within two months from today.       The interest shall<\/p>\n<p>be  payable   from  22.5.2007      till  the  date  of<\/p>\n<p>W.A.No.2216 of 2007 &amp; con. cases<\/p>\n<p>                         :: 7 ::\n<\/p>\n<p>\npayment. The State shall also refund the amount<\/p>\n<p>deposited by the appellant as the bid amount,<\/p>\n<p>within two months from today. It is made clear<\/p>\n<p>that if there is any delay on the part of the<\/p>\n<p>State in refunding the amount to the appellant,<\/p>\n<p>the same shall carry interest at the rate of 12%<\/p>\n<p>from the date on which the refund becomes due<\/p>\n<p>till the date of payment. In the facts and<\/p>\n<p>circumstances of the case, we are of the view<\/p>\n<p>that the 1st respondent in the appeal shall also<\/p>\n<p>pay an amount of Rs.1 lakh to the appellant, as<\/p>\n<p>compensation   and  also     to   cover the expenses<\/p>\n<p>incurred by the appellant. The said amount of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1   lakh   shall   also      be  paid within  the<\/p>\n<p>aforementioned period of two months from today.<\/p>\n<p>The writ appeal is disposed of, subject to the<\/p>\n<p>above directions.\n<\/p>\n<p>        11. For the reasons stated above, W.P.(C)<\/p>\n<p>No.9642\/08 and 10045\/08 shall stand dismissed,<\/p>\n<p>subject to the modification that the revenue<\/p>\n<p>officers shall not proceed with the re-auction of<\/p>\n<p>the property, on the basis of the direction<\/p>\n<p>issued by the District Collector.          But, this<\/p>\n<p>shall be without prejudice to their right to act<\/p>\n<p>W.A.No.2216 of 2007 &amp; con. cases<\/p>\n<p>                         :: 8 ::\n<\/p>\n<p>\nupon a fresh recovery certificate, if any, issued<\/p>\n<p>by the competent authority.\n<\/p>\n<p>        Writ appeal and the writ petitions are<\/p>\n<p>disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                        Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>                                  (J.B.
