Summary

Issues Involved:
- Relief sought to declare auction of land as arbitrary and illegal
- Status quo direction by Division Bench
- Clarification on auction notice and land exclusion

Analysis:
The writ petition sought relief to declare the auction of specific land as arbitrary and illegal, as the subject matter was pending before the court in another case. The Division Bench had previously directed the purchaser to maintain status quo regarding the property in question. The counsel for the respondent clarified that the auction notice excluded the land already sold to the petitioner in the auction, which was the focus of the previous case. This clarification dispelled the petitioner's apprehension that the sold property was being put up for sale again. Consequently, the court closed the writ petition, disposing of any related pending miscellaneous petitions without costs.
