Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 28.04.2026

[2026:RJ-JP:18985] (8 of 9) [CW-14152/2020]
passed in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 1105/2026 titled Gaurav
Arora vs. Rajasthan Housing Board & Ors.
2. It is submitted that identical questions of facts and law have
been decided by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court at Principal
Seat at Jodhpur in Gaurav Arora (supra), whereby in para 13
and 14, relying upon dictum encapsulated by the Hon’ble Supreme
Court in Golden Food Products of India Vs. State of Uttar
Pradesh & Ors. arising out of SLP (Civil) Nos. 18095-
18096/2024 and the ratio laid down by the Co-ordinate Bench of
this Court at Principal Seat at Jodhpur in Umesh Kumar Vyas Vs.
State of Rajasthan, S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 6122/2025.
3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents is
unable to refute the applicability of the aforesaid judgments.
However, a limited distinction is sought to be drawn by submitting
that the impugned action was backed by a reasoned order, and no
appropriate decision with regard to the appeal has been taken as
on date. It is further submitted that the primary reason for the
rejection/cancellation of the auction was that the auction price
fetched was lesser than the prices offered in previous auctions.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners vehemently opposed the
said contentions and submit that there was no such condition
stipulated in the bid document empowering the respondents to
cancel the auction on comparative price grounds. It is highlighted
that the tender in question was floated during the COVID-19
pandemic, a period wherein market prices and auction dynamics
were different and subject to major fluctuations.
5. Having heard the submissions advanced by the learned
counsel for the parties and considering the facts and

allowed in light of the ratio spelled out in Gaurav Arora (supra).
