The State could recover the deficiency and resale expenses after re-auction where the bidder failed to deposit security as required, and the bidder's objections did not excuse non-compliance. It could also enforce payment of defaulted licence-fee instalments because the rules fixed the time and mode of payment, making timely instalment payment essential. Article 299(1) did not invalidate enforcement, since the arrangement was created under the excise statute and rules rather than an executive contract. Writ proceedings could not be used to avoid these auction obligations. en-us Wed, 02 May 1984 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 18:32:40 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=187838 Liabilities arising from a liquor vend auction conducted under statutory authority were enforceable as statutory obligations and statutory contract terms.
