2. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the first respondent and also the auction committee-second respondent, the Secretary of the first respondent stated that in the earlier auction that was conducted on 29-022004 where Sri K.S.S.Srinivas Rao, who figured as the highest bidder for Rs.4,560/- per square yard, did not pay the amount in time, that auction was cancelled and the plot was put up for auction again on 08-06-2004, where the petitioner figured as the highest bidder for Rs.1,990/- per square yard. As the auction committee which reserved a right to delete any plot from auction at any stage either before the commencement of the auction or during the course of the auction or reject the highest bid offered or to postpone the auction without assigning any reasons, and as the petitioner subscribed her signature accepting that condition, she cannot question the rejection of her offer by the committee, on the ground that her bid was less than the bid in the earlier auction. In fact, when the same plot was re-auctioned on 03-08-2004, the father of the petitioner, who participated in the said auction, offered Rs.3,150/- per square yard but his bid could not be confirmed because of the stay obtained by the petitioner in this petition.
