Petitioner had bid an auction for an Anjili tree which was held<\/p>\n<p>on 20\/10\/2008. He was the highest bidder and he deposited Rs.40,250\/-<\/p>\n<p>being the full bid value.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.    However,the District Collector by Ext.P2 ordered to re auction<\/p>\n<p>the timber and Ext.P3 re auction notice was issued. It was challenging<\/p>\n<p>Exts. P2 and P3, the petitioner approached this Court.<\/p>\n<p>      4.    Following the orders that were passed, a second auction was<\/p>\n<p>held and the value fetched was only Rs.70,500\/-. Again the authorities<\/p>\n<p>decided to conduct a third auction and pursuant to the orders that were<\/p>\n<p>obtained from this Court, in the 3rd auction that was held on 15\/1\/2009,<\/p>\n<p>the highest bid received is of Rs.1,66,799\/-.<\/p>\n<p>      5.    Obviously the value now fetched is far in excess of the earlier<\/p>\n<p>bids that were received and therefore in pubic interest, the respondents<\/p>\n<p>should be permitted to accept the highest bid that is now available.<\/p>\n<p>WPC 32138\/08<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     :2 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      6.
