No Government servant serving in the state (including the members of tha All India Servias is declred as the Successful bidder. No government servent serving in the State ( including the members of the All India Services), shall, therefore, bid at any auction ordered by any department of Government or other Governmental authority except with the previous permission of the authority competent to sanction sales or purchases or property exceeding the value prescribed under the Government Servant’s Conduct Rules. A Government servant who bids at a Government auction without the previous permission of the competent authority would be regarded as indulging in conduct unbecoming of a Government servant within the meaning of the Conduct Rules.
