Bipin Kumar Tiwary vs Zila Parishad on 6 October, 2020
19. Be that as it may. Even if it is assumed that the Board of Zila
Parishand, Dhanbad had resolved for renewal of the lease, the same has
to be treated as arbitrary and violative of the constitutional schemes as
has been discussed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the judgment of
Saroj Screens Private Limited (supra) and Bharmal Medical Store
Vs. State of M.P. (supra), holding inter alia that any allotment of public
property is required to be made through public auction giving opportunity
to the public at large to participate in the same and, hence, I am of the
view that the petitioners cannot insist for renewal of their respective
leases even after expiry of the maximum period of three years.
