No: 301 of 2008 in E.P. No: 201 of 2007 in A.R.C0 No: 192 of<\/p>\n<p>2005 on the file of Sub Court, Manjeri. Respondents 1 and 2 herein<\/p>\n<p>are the first respondent\/ decree holder and second respondent \/<\/p>\n<p>auction purchaser in that E.A., which was filed under Order 21 Rule<\/p>\n<p>90 of C.P.C. to set aside the sale conducted on 19.3.2008.<\/p>\n<p>      2. The facts of the case are briefly as follows:<\/p>\n<p>      The 1st respondent herein has obtained an award as per A.R.C.<\/p>\n<p>No: 192\/2005 for realisation of Rs.2,77,670\/- with interest, against<\/p>\n<p>the petitioners herein. The 1st respondent has filed an execution<\/p>\n<p>petition as E.P. No : 201\/2007 before the Sub Court Manjeri for<\/p>\n<p>realisation of an amount of Rs.3,90,087\/- being the decree amount<\/p>\n<p>with interest and costs. In the Execution Petition, the 1st respondent<\/p>\n<p>F. A. O. NO: 46 OF 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  :2:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>   has sought to realise the amount by sale of the properties scheduled<\/p>\n<p>   to the Execution Petition. The 2nd petitioner, who was the absolute<\/p>\n<p>   owner in possession of 15 cents of property in Sy. No:53\/46 of<\/p>\n<p>   Keezhathur Village of Perinthalmanna Taluk and it was said<\/p>\n<p>   property which was mortgaged with the bank. In the execution<\/p>\n<p>   proceedings, the appellants were ex parte and the property<\/p>\n<p>   scheduled has been put to auction and the 2nd respondent has bid the<\/p>\n<p>   auction for an amount of Rs.4,00,100\/-. The auction was conducted<\/p>\n<p>   on 19.3.2008 and it was confirmed on 26.5.2008.             Since the<\/p>\n<p>   appellants were ex parte in the execution proceedings they were not<\/p>\n<p>   aware of the sale and subsequent confirmation thereof. However,<\/p>\n<p>   the appellants have came to know of the sale and its confirmation,<\/p>\n<p>   subsequently and immediately thereafter the appellants have filed an<\/p>\n<p>   application before the execution court for setting aside the sale.<\/p>\n<p>         3. In the application to set aside the sale, the appellants have<\/p>\n<p>   contended that the sale was bad in law and the same was vitiated by<\/p>\n<p>   material irregularity and improper valuation. It was contended that<\/p>\n<p>   the property would fetch an amount of Rs.30,000\/- per cent and that<\/p>\n<p>   the building thereon would have a value of Rs.2,00,000\/-. The<\/p>\n<p>F. A. O. NO: 46 OF 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   :3:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>   appellants have contended that the sale was conducted in such a<\/p>\n<p>   fashion that the prospective bidders could not participate in the<\/p>\n<p>   auction and accordingly the best available price could not be<\/p>\n<p>   secured for the property. It was further contended that there are<\/p>\n<p>   prospective purchasers for the above property to purchase the same<\/p>\n<p>   for at least Rs.6.5 lakhs. The appellants have further stated that they<\/p>\n<p>   are ready and willing to deposit the amount covered by the decree<\/p>\n<p>   and to get the property re-conveyed in their name. It was also<\/p>\n<p>   pointed out that even the sale of a portion of the property would be<\/p>\n<p>   sufficient to clear the debt due to the bank.            Under these<\/p>\n<p>   circumstances it was prayed that the sale held on 19.3.2008 and<\/p>\n<p>   confirmed in favour of the 2nd respondent herein may be set aside.<\/p>\n<p>         4. Respondents 1 and 2 filed separate counter stating that the<\/p>\n<p>   sale was conducted in accordance with the provisions of C.P.C.<\/p>\n<p>   The petitioner remained ex parte in spite of receipt of Rule 66<\/p>\n<p>   Notice. The petition is barred by limitation.<\/p>\n<p>         5. For the purpose of enquiry, PW1 and PW2 were examined.<\/p>\n<p>   The learned Sub Judge on considering the matter dismissed that<\/p>\n<p>   petition. Against that order, the petitioners\/ judgment debtors filed<\/p>\n<p>F. A. O. NO: 46 OF 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    :4:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>   this appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>         6. We heard the learned counsel for the appellants and the<\/p>\n<p>   learned counsel for the respondents.\n<\/p>\n<p>         7. It is an admitted fact that the property having an extent of<\/p>\n<p>   15 cents comprised in Sy. No: 53\/46 with a house, was sold in court<\/p>\n<p>   auction on 19.3.2008 and the second respondent purchased that<\/p>\n<p>   property for Rs.4,00,100\/- and the sale was confirmed on 26.5.2008.<\/p>\n<p>   The petition to set aside the sale was filed on 29.5.2008.<\/p>\n<p>         8. In the decision reported in <a href=\"\/doc\/670610\/\">Boban v. Sajith Kumar and<\/a><\/p>\n<p>   another (A.I.R. 2004 Kerala 181), it was held that under Article<\/p>\n<p>   127 of the Limitation Act, application to set aside the sale in<\/p>\n<p>   execution of decree has to be filed within 60 days from the date of<\/p>\n<p>   sale. In the present case, the sale was conducted on 19.3.2008 and<\/p>\n<p>   the application to set aside the sale was filed only on 29.5.2008,<\/p>\n<p>   which is beyond 60 days from the date of sale and therefore that<\/p>\n<p>   petition cannot be entertained.\n<\/p>\n<p>         9. The main grievance of the appellants is that there was no<\/p>\n<p>   paper publication with regard to the sale of the property.        As<\/p>\n<p>   observed by the learned Sub Judge, the provisions contained in<\/p>\n<p>F. A. O. NO: 46 OF 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   :5:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>   C.P.C. do not mandate the publication in the newspapers with<\/p>\n<p>   regard to the sale.\n<\/p>\n<p>         10. Learned counsel for the appellants invited our attention to<\/p>\n<p>   the decision of this court reported in <a href=\"\/doc\/1924254\/\">Thankamma v. Leelamma<\/a><\/p>\n<p>   (2008(2) KLT 500, in which it was held that the contention that a<\/p>\n<p>   portion of the property would fetch the decree amount even if not<\/p>\n<p>   raised before the proclamation of sale, can be taken up in the<\/p>\n<p>   proceedings under Order XXI Rule 90 C.P.C.\n<\/p>\n<p>         11. Learned counsel for the appellants invited our attention to<\/p>\n<p>   the decision of the Apex Court reported in Sri Ram Maurya v.<\/p>\n<p>   Kailash Nath and others (A.I.R. 2000 S.C. 3402), in which it was<\/p>\n<p>   held in the absence of the pleading that on account of material<\/p>\n<p>   irregularity in conducting the sale, the petitioners were put to<\/p>\n<p>   substantial injury, auction cannot be set aside.<\/p>\n<p>         12. In the decision of this court reported in <a href=\"\/doc\/54742717\/\">C.C. Sivaprasad<\/p>\n<p>   v. K. Sasidharan<\/a> (2006 (1) K.L.J. 841, it was held that<\/p>\n<p>                  &#8220;the legal position is now well &#8211; settled. By<\/p>\n<p>           reason of any material irregularity either in<\/p>\n<p>           publishing or conducting the sale, a sale cannot be<\/p>\n<p>F. A. O. NO: 46 OF 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   :6:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>           set aside unless the applicant establishes that by<\/p>\n<p>           reason of such irregularity, he sustained substantial<\/p>\n<p>           injury.    Without showing that the irregularity<\/p>\n<p>           resulted in substantial injury, no sale could be set<\/p>\n<p>           aside on the ground of material irregularity. For the<\/p>\n<p>           irregularity, substantial injury cannot be assumed or<\/p>\n<p>           presumed.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>         13. On perusing the lower court records, it is seen that Order<\/p>\n<p>   21 Rule 22 and Rule 66 notices were personally served on the<\/p>\n<p>   judgment debtors 1 and 2 but they remained exparte and they did not<\/p>\n<p>   raise any objection to the sale proclamation. In the affidavit filed in<\/p>\n<p>   support of the petition, the judgment debtors admitted that the<\/p>\n<p>   decree holder has complied with the provisions contained in Order<\/p>\n<p>   21 Rule 66 C.P.C in conducting the sale.\n<\/p>\n<p>         14. According to the appellants, the property would fetch<\/p>\n<p>   Rs.6,50,000\/- and that PW2 was ready to purchase that property for<\/p>\n<p>   that amount. But when cross- examined, PW2 admits that he has no<\/p>\n<p>   document to show that he was having that amount with him to<\/p>\n<p>   purchase that property. Admittedly that property was mortgaged to<\/p>\n<p>   decree holder by judgment debtor no:2. PW1 admits that after the<\/p>\n<p>F. A. O. NO: 46 OF 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      :7:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>   mortgage of the property, judgment debtor no:2 sold the property to<\/p>\n<p>   one Mr. Ramadas for a sale consideration of Rs.2,50,000\/- as per<\/p>\n<p>   sale deed No: 1735 of 2004. The appellants have not produced any<\/p>\n<p>   document to show that the petition scheduled property would fetch<\/p>\n<p>   more than Rs.4,00,000\/- Since the appellants have failed to show<\/p>\n<p>   that the impugned sale is vitiated by material irregularity or fraud in<\/p>\n<p>   publishing or conducting it and that the appellants have sustained<\/p>\n<p>   substantial injury, the learned Sub Judge is justified in dismissing<\/p>\n<p>   the petition to set aside the sale.\n<\/p>\n<p>         Accordingly this appeal is dismissed. The parties are directed<\/p>\n<p>   to suffer their respective costs in this appeal.<\/p>\n<p>                                         K. M.
