A.File a complaint u/s 156(3) along with 200 CrPC in case your application u/s 156(3) gets dismissed you'll be on safer side.

This is clear criminal conspiracy to cause wrongful loss to both the parties.

A.The case is based on documentary evidence. If the police has seized and filed all necessary documents along with the charge sheet, it is of no consequence as to whether police is silent on that aspect in the charge sheet. A document filed along with the charge sheet can be considered by the court.

A.On the basis of the details submitted by you, I can say that the criminal complaint shall definitely stand in Court. The bidder is eligible or ineligible is not a question here. The question is after participating in the auction and being emerging out as the highest bidder, the bidder has definitely tried to cheat the auctioneer by providing forged cheques and thereby negating the entire objective the auction.
However, as on the part the bidder, there are grounds to defend and contest the case.The question of eligibility can be a matter of defence, but It shall not work as solid ground to defy the criminal charges against the bidder. However, the bidder can use it against the derelicting officials who were involved in providing him the unlawful eligibility to participate in the auction.
