2017 (10) TMI 39 - MADRAS HIGH COURT
Return of Earnest Money Deposit - public auction - a detailed inventory list was demanded by petitioner, on non-production of which petitioner cancelled the contract and demanded return of earnest money - Held that: - the nature of transaction entered into between the petitioner, Customs Department and the Professional Auctioneers is a private contract and merely because, goods were auctioned, for and on behalf of the Customs Department, the same cannot be construed as a statutory contract so as to make the provisions amenable to the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
The demand made by the petitioner is purely an afterthought, because at no particular point of time, the petitioner sought for a detailed inventory list and with full knowledge, having participated in the auction and having been declared as the highest bidder and remitted the Earnest Money Deposit, the present attempt of the petitioner is to, somehow, wriggle out of the transaction and at the same time, to get back the Earnest Money Deposit.
Petition dismissed being not maintainable.
