Qatar’s Supreme Judiciary Council announced the electronic auction of abandoned vehicles, machinery and equipment via the Court Mzadat app, The Peninsula reported on September 20, 2026.[[1]](https://thepeninsulaqatar.com/article/20/09/2026/abandoned-vehicle-machinery-and-equipment-to-be-auctioned-via-mzadat-app) The auction forms part of cooperation between the Enforcement Court and the Joint Committee for the Removal of Abandoned Vehicles, Machinery and Equipment at the Ministry of Municipality. The initiative seeks to strengthen government partnerships, enhance institutional integration and promote shared digital solutions across agencies. Such steps also aim to refine electronic auction procedures for improved efficiency and transparency.
The Court Mzadat application will host the bidding process, allowing participants to engage with the sale of items that have been abandoned in public or designated areas. This digital approach builds on prior judicial efforts to handle confiscated and abandoned assets through online platforms available on both Apple App Store and Google Play. Earlier coverage by The Peninsula detailed how these auctions provide transparent mechanisms supervised by judicial authorities.
A 2022 agreement between the Joint Committee and a digital technology provider first established online auctions for abandoned cars, equipment and boats on a similar platform, according to a previous report in The Peninsula.[[2]](https://thepeninsulaqatar.com/article/12/02/2022/abandoned-vehicles-to-be-sold-in-online-auction) That arrangement included provisions for uploading vehicle specifications, chassis numbers and inspection locations to support informed participation. The app’s large user base at the time, exceeding 1.5 million, was cited as a factor in potentially increasing returns to the state through competitive bidding.
Subsequent auctions have continued the practice, including a July 2025 joint sale by the Supreme Judiciary Council and Public Prosecution that featured confiscated supercars such as a 2019 Lamborghini Urus and a 2017 Bentley Mulsanne, The Peninsula reported.[[3]](https://thepeninsulaqatar.com/article/03/07/2025/sjc-public-prosecution-hold-joint-auction-for-confiscated-vehicles-via-mzadat-app) Those events operated within set time windows, typically from 4pm to 7pm, and extended to various vehicle models alongside other assets. The platform has since supported multiple rounds covering cars, heavy machinery and distinctive license plates.
Plans outlined in December 2025 for January 2026 auctions similarly utilized the Mzadat app for vehicles, real estate and license plates on designated dates and times, according to The Peninsula.[[4]](https://thepeninsulaqatar.com/article/31/12/2025/vehicles-real-estate-to-go-on-auction-online-in-january-supreme-judiciary-council) One September 2025 auction included models from Lexus, Toyota and Honda along with specific number plates, further demonstrating the system’s versatility. These recurring activities have allowed the judiciary to manage holdings from various cases while expanding public access to the bidding process.
The latest announcement aligns with the judiciary’s broader use of the application for enforcement-related disposals, as seen in multiple events held throughout the past year. Details regarding specific items available in the current auction, along with bidding schedules and registration steps, will be accessible directly through the Court Mzadat app. Official channels of the Supreme Judiciary Council are expected to provide any supplementary information as the process advances.
