dated 19.10.2012, consisting of 5824 sq.ft., in TS.Nos.882 and 894, will be sold more than Rs.8 crores, whereas, the Government fixed the upset price of Rs.3,90,84,740/-.

¶33

4.The contention of the learned counsel appearing for the appellants is that if the private negotiation is permitted, the same property, which has been valued by the Government to the tune of Rs.3,90,84,740/-, will fetch more than Rs.8 crores. Hence, the learned counsel seeks a direction of this Court to sell the particular property through private negotiation and deposit the entire sale consideration before the trial Court.

¶34

5.According to the learned counsel for the appellants, the appellants also filed an application in this regard before the trial Court under Section 9 of the TNPID Act and the same has also been withdrawn from the trial Court. Further, the learned counsel contended that if the appellants are permitted to file such application before the trial Court, they will pursue that application for sale of the property in a private negotiation under the supervision of the District Revenue Officer and the District Superintendent of Police, then deposit the entire amount.
