Your understanding of Query 1 is correct. The injury means loss of any kind, not physicl injury.
In regard to Query 2: Whenever any auction takes place, there will be terms and conditions prohibiting certain persons from taking part in the auction. Normally, a person who is employed in the same Department etc., would be prohibited from taking part in the auction sale. Except such persons others can very well take part in the auction purchase.
So long as no such prohibition is there, there will be no bar for any public servant or his relatives in taking part in the auction purchase.
