casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Chint Ram Chand v. State of Punjab (1996 AIR 1406) The Supreme Court dismissed appeals by old market yard (mandi) licensees challenging the State of Punjab's decision to sell plots in newly established mandis through open auction rather than allocating them preferentially to existing licensees. The Court held that licensees have no legal right to automatic allotment at new sites and must compete with the general public at auction. The Court found that public auction is the fairest method for disposing of business premises and does not violate fundamental rights under Articles 14, 19(1)(g), or 21 of the Constitution. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
