Summary:[...]as justice J S Khehar's separate opinion (which reads more like a dissent) points out, there are several different types of auction methods. [...]the term "auction" generally covers various competitive processes through which the government awards contracts, concessions, or licenses. [...]as justice Khehar hinted, the main opinion's thesis that auctions aren't constitutionally necessary could unwittingly erode transparency, fairness, and the common good in natural-resource allocations, which the main opinion emphasised, are overriding imperatives. [...]although the main opinion appropriately acknowledges the executive's primacy over economic-policy formulation, it could have highlighted the legislature's oversight responsibilities.
