The sale proclamation and rules of auction would be required to be verified and if there is such evidence even a criminal case can be filed however a thorough efforts would be required to be taken

Non-observation of rules does not mean cheating. Please read ingredients of cheating given in section 415 IPC.

No the facts above doesnot indicate cheating
Re: auction rrules
if there is no 'unlawful gain or loss' to anyone, and there is no cheating of anyone, it does not appear that a criminal case is made out; however, if the auction involved 'public property' and some 'public servants' are involved who wanted to favour A, it may be a fit case under PCA and 120-B IPC.
