  Summary & questions settled

  This constitutional petition was filed before the Lahore High Court seeking to set aside the cancellation of a property auction bid and to direct the respondent-Bank to accept the remaining amount and execute a sale deed in favour of the petitioner, who was the highest bidder. The core legal question was whether the High Court should exercise its discretionary constitutional jurisdiction under Article 199 to enforce a completed contract and set aside a bid cancellation when a subsequent re-auction yielded an offer more than five times higher than the petitioner's bid. The court held that while a binding contract may have been formed, the protection of the public exchequer and national interest must take priority over private interests, and courts will not exercise extraordinary discretionary jurisdiction to enforce a contractual obligation where the public interest demands otherwise and efficacious alternate remedies exist. The key principle laid down is that constitutional jurisdiction will be withheld in contractual matters involving public property if granting relief prejudices the public exchequer and a significantly higher market value has been subsequently offered.

  Questions settled

  • Whether the High Court will exercise its extraordinary constitutional jurisdiction to enforce the performance of a contract regarding the sale of public property when a subsequent re-auction yields a substantially higher offer?
  • Does the protection of the public exchequer and national interest take priority over private interests and individual contractual rights in auction matters?
  • Is a constitutional petition maintainable for the enforcement of contractual obligations where an alternate remedy is available?
  • Can the bank reject auction bids without assigning any reasons when the terms and conditions of the publication reserve such a right?
