Pradesh & Ors.,2 A.P. Dalit Mahasabha vs. Government of Andhra
Pradesh & Ors.,3 and Natural Resources Allocations, In Re.,4 had
held that the State has the discretion to decide the best process of
allocation or alienation of land or any natural resources and the
method of auction cannot be the only process where maximization

rejected.
