Centre For Public Interest Litigation vs U.O.I on 23 February, 2018
Now, the expression „let-out on hire‟ which finds reference
in sub-Section (1) of Section 141 is missing in sub-Section (2), but that in
our opinion is irrelevant for the reason a statutory authority and
especially a Municipal Statutory Authority would be obliged on the
principle of a Trust to obtain the best price while creating any interest in
its property in favour of a third party. It is the inherent right of every
proprietor to secure maximum consideration for his property in all
transactions, apart from transactions where the law limits
consideration that can be charged by the proprietor, for any public
purpose or in public interest. In the case of governmental bodies like
the NDMC, the implicit right of a proprietor to maximize consideration
for its property is also a duty since these bodies own and transact
property in a fiduciary capacity for the general public. A similar view
has been expressed by the Supreme Court in the decision reported as
(2012) 3 SCC 1 Centre for Public Interest Litigation v. Union of India,
wherein the Supreme Court held that the doctrine of equality enjoins
that the public is adequately compensated for the transfer of natural

resources and/or their products to the private domain. Thus, in
exercising its right/discharging its duty to secure maximum
consideration for grant of licence in relation to property bearing No. 1,
Man Singh Road, New Delhi, NDMC is within its power to ensure that
such measures are adopted by it which fetch the maximum revenue. As
a consequence of NDMC's proprietary right and fiduciary duty to secure
maximum consideration for public property, Section 141(2) of the
NDMC Act, 1994 must be interpreted to include within its ambit all
transactions involving immoveable property and the grant of licences
cannot be dehors Section 141(2) of the NDMC Act, 1994. A harmonious
construction of Section 141(1) and 141(2) of the NDMC Act, 1994
supports the view that it is incumbent on the NDMC to sell, lease, let out
or otherwise transfer any immoveable property at the value at which
such immovable property could be sold, leased, let out or otherwise be
transferred in normal and fair competition. The omission of the word „let
out‟ in Section 141(2) of the NDMC Act, 1994 is clearly on account of an
error in legislative drafting. Section 141(1) lists the modes and the
manner in which the immoveable property belonging to the NDMC may
be disposed off while Section 141(2) of the NDMC Act, 1994 provides the
necessary condition of securing adequate compensation, which
represents the fiduciary duty of the NDMC to the general public, to be
fulfilled while disposing off the property as per Section 141(1) of the
NDMC Act, 1994."

Rubabbuddin Sheikh vs State Of Gujarat & Ors on 12 January, 2010
In the judgment of the Supreme Court reported at (2010) 2 SCC 200
Rubabbuddin Sheikh v. State of Gujarat and others, investigation was conducted
into the killing of a person who was alleged to have been killed by Gujarat Police.
The investigation stood conducted by the Gujarat Police and even a charge sheet had
been submitted. However, the writ petitioner apprehended that the investigation was
not fair and impartial because high officials of the Gujarat Police were involved in
the case. The writ petition praying for transfer of the case to CBI was filed at this
stage. The Supreme Court, firstly, considered the issue as to whether investigation
could be transferred to CBI after filing of the charge sheet and trial was going on
and, secondly, whether facts and circumstances of the case warranted transfer of the
case. On a consideration of the matter, the Supreme Court while considering several
precedences, held as follows:
M.C. Mehta vs Kamal Nath & Ors on 13 December, 1996
In Gudalure M.J.Cherian (supra), in that case also the charge
sheet was submitted but inspite of that, in view of the peculiar facts of
that case, the investigation was transferred from the file of the Sessions
Judge, Moradabad to Sessions Judge, Delhi. Inspite of such fact that
the charge sheet was filed in that case, this Court directed the CBI to
hold further investigation inspite of the offences committed. In this
case at Page 400 this court observed: (para 7)
"7.........................The investigation having been completed by
the police and the charge sheet submitted to the court, it is
not for this court ordinarily to reopen the investigation
specially by entrusting the same to a specialized agency like
CBI. We are also conscious that of late the demand for CBI
investigation even in police cases is on the increase.
Nevertheless - in a given situation, to do justice between the
parties and to instill confidence in the public mind - it may
become necessary to ask the CBI to investigate a crime. It
only shows the efficiency and the independence of the
agency."
