Ad Space Advertising Pvt. Ltd., vs The State Of Andhra Pradesh on 9 July, 2025
21. The contention of the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the
grant in favour of un-official Respondent No.6 cannot be sustained as
auction has to be conducted as per the Full Bench decision of this
Court in S. Y. Nawab v. Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad1. This
aspect was not raised in the writ affidavit by the Petitioner and the only
ground urged was that the proceedings in favour of Respondent No.6
on 14.09.2023 cannot be sustained, since the licence of the Petitioner
was subsisting for the year 2023-24. As there was no plea, the
Counter Affidavits by the Respondents did not deal with this aspect.
Therefore, in the absence of necessary pleadings, this contention
cannot be urged straightaway in the arguments.
