49. The decision of the licensor to conduct an auction for
granting access to spectrum, obviously, complies with the
second of the requirements specified by this Court in
para 85 of 2G Case [Centre for Public Interest Litigation
v. Union of India, (2012) 3 SCC 1] judgment. The
question whether such a decision also complies with the
requirements of the first of the two facets mentioned
therein is the issue in this batch of matters. In other
words, the adequacy of compensation which the

Delhi Development Authority, N.D. & Anr vs Joint Action Committee,Allottee Of Sfs ... on 13 December, 2007
72. The judgment in the case of DDA vs. Joint Action Committee (supra)
relied upon by the petitioners is clearly distinguishable from the present
case. In the said case, a self financing scheme was floated by the DDA and
an estimated cost of the flats as well as the rights and the liabilities of the
parties were laid down in the allotment letter. Subsequently, however, the
DDA sought to levy certain additional amounts over and above the price in
the allotment letter and which was challenged by the allottees. In this
context, the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that the relationship of the parties
arose out of the contract, whose terms and conditions were to be complied
by both the parties. In case the DDA intended to alter or modify the terms of
the contract, it was obligatory to bring the same to the notice of the allottee
and having not done so, it could not have thrust new terms of the contract
and, therefore, the policy under which the DDA sought to do so was not
beyond the pale of judicial review. In the present case, the appellants have
not taken any action which amounts to changing the terms of the PSC in as
much as Article 2.1 gives an initial duration of the Contract and permits
extension on terms mutually agreed between the parties. There is no term in
the Contract which mandates the appellants to extend the same on the initial
terms. Had that been the intent of the parties, the same would have been
spelt in so many words in the PSC itself. Rather, the use of the words "on
mutual agreement" shows the contra-intent of the parties that the terms of
the extension of the PSC, if any, were to be formalised at the time of
consideration for extension.

74. For the reasons mentioned above by us, which we are not repeating,
the judgment in GNCTD v. Bhushan Kumar (supra) is also of no avail to
the petitioners. In the said case, the Government of NCTD had invited the

applications through industrial units situated in non-conforming areas, for
allotment of plots for relocation in terms of a scheme formulated by it and a
certain area of the plot was offered and applied for by the respondents
therein. Subsequently, however, there was a dispute with regard to the
measurement of the plots in question. The Government supported its action
of downsizing the plot by alleging that there was scarcity of land and also
that the decision was in consonance with a policy decision approved by the
Cabinet. In these facts, the Hon'ble Supreme Court considered the issue
involved as to whether the binding contract could be modified, novated or
cancelled, once it stood concluded and the parties were bound and governed
by its terms and conditions. It was held that a policy by itself is not law
which has the effect of thrusting new terms and conditions upon a
contracting party. We repeat and reiterate that the appellants herein are not
imposing a condition which has the effect of novation of a contract as the
parties had willingly incorporated a term in the PSC that the extension
beyond the current term would be on mutually agreed terms. Despite
strenuous arguments, learned Senior Counsel for the petitioners has been
unable to show any provision in the PSC binding the contracting parties
thereto into extension of the duration of the PSC, on the same terms and
conditions of the share of Profit Petroleum, as existed on 15th May, 1995.
