Sachidananda Pandey vs State Of West Bengal & Ors on 11 February, 1987

In Sachidanand Pandey & Anr. vs. State of West Bengal & Ors., AIR 1987 SC 1109, the Supreme Court held that while dealing with public property, the executive must make an endeavour to dispose it of by pubic auction or by inviting tenders, though that is the ordinary rule, may not be an invariable rule. Where there are compelling circumstances necessitating the departure therefrom then the reasons for the departure must be rational and should not be suggestive of discrimination. Appearance of public justice is as important as doing justice. Therefore, in case of dealing with public property, certain percepts and principles have to be observed and public interest is the paramount consideration and when a public property is disposed of, they should try to get the maximum price.
