The Supreme Court on Saturday said a day has come now to do away with allotment of government largess, particularly plots, on the basis of discretionary quota as this inevitably leads to corruption, nepotism and favoritism.

Therefore, the best thing is to do away with such discretionary quota and allotments of the public properties/plots must be through public auction by and large," a bench of Justices M R Shah and B V Nagarathna said.
