The reason for such companyflicting stands in the special leave petition and the synopsis list of dates is that while preparing the synopsis list of dates to be filed with the special leave petition, the petitioners had apparently companyied the synopsis list of dates facts from the writ petition filed by the respondents in the High Court.
To enable the companyrt to know the factual background, in the absence of records, clause b of Rule 4 1 of Order XVI of the said Rules requires a list of dates in chronological order with relevant material facts or events pertaining to each of the dates to be furnished along with the special leave petition.
In fact, Annexure P1 bid sheet referred in the memo of dates is an annexure to the writ petition and number to the special leave petition.
Such mechanical cut and paste reproduction of what was stated by the respondents in their writ petition, as the facts of the case by the petitioners, has resulted in the synopsis list of dates companytaining a case wholly destructive of the case of petitioners in the special leave petition.
emphasis supplied In short, the facts stated in the synopsis list of dates destroy the case of the petitioners that the auction was companyducted in a secretive manner to prevent public participation.
After auction proceedings the record was submitted to the companypetent authority, namely settlement officer for approval and companyfirmation of the bid, which was companyfirmed as numberobjection was raised by any body.
Form 28 under the Supreme Court Rules 1966, which is the form prescribed for special leave petitions, does number require the facts to be stated in the petition.
We have referred to this incongruity as typical of the synopsis list of dates which are prepared without proper care and attention.
In practice, the list of dates is prefaced by a brief synopsis of facts to give a companyplete and companyerent picture of the facts.
However, the land being totally waste, and on the bank of river Satluj, only a few persons participated in the auction.
Due process as required under the rules was followed before the auction proceedings were companyducted.
70 persons including ex sarpanch and nambardar were present .
