It is contended by learned counsel for<\/p>\n<p>petitioner\/judgment debtor placing reliance on the decision of the Apex Court in<\/p>\n<p>S.Mariyappa (Dead) by Lrs. &amp; Others v. Siddappa and another<\/p>\n<p>(2004 (3) CTC 671) that non-compliance of Rule 64 of Order XXI of the Code<\/p>\n<p>affected jurisdiction of the executing court to conduct the sale, sale conducted<\/p>\n<p>without such compliance is a nullity and could be set aside on an application<\/p>\n<p>made under Section 47 of the Code the period of limitation of which is governed<\/p>\n<p>by the residuary Article (Article 137) of the Act. It is contended that even after<\/p>\n<p>petitioner preferred objection to the draft proclamation sale (DPS) executing<\/p>\n<p>court has not applied its mind and did not direct respondent to file amended<\/p>\n<p>proclamation of sale as revealed from the copy of B diary produced in the Writ<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) No.5499\/2010<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Petition. It is therefore contended that dismissal of E.A.No.228 of 2008 is not<\/p>\n<p>correct legally or factually. Learned counsel for respondent has contended that<\/p>\n<p>the application is hopelessly barred by limitation since on the grounds pleaded,<\/p>\n<p>the   application though given a label of   Section 47 of the Code is one falling<\/p>\n<p>under Rule 90 of Order XXI of the Code.      It is contended that no material was<\/p>\n<p>produced to prove value of land as claimed by petitioner in his objection to the<\/p>\n<p>DPS. Learned counsel has invited my attention to the relevant records to show<\/p>\n<p>that petitioner could not have urged that valuation of property is not proper.<\/p>\n<p>       2.     15 cents belonging to the petitioner was brought up for sale by the<\/p>\n<p>respondent suggesting its market value as Rs.30,000\/-.         Petitioner preferred<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P3, objection stating that value of the property is around Rupees four lakhs.<\/p>\n<p>Respondent produced Ext.R1(d), valuation certificate dated 03.01.2007 issued<\/p>\n<p>by the Tahsildar stating value of the property as Rs.49,198\/-. It is seen from<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P5, copy of B diary that after adjournment of the execution petition for<\/p>\n<p>several days for various reasons the matter came up for hearing on 01.12.2007<\/p>\n<p>on which day respondent produced Ext.R1(d), valuation certificate          and the<\/p>\n<p>execution petition was then posted for hearing on 03.12.2007. That day the<\/p>\n<p>upset price was fixed (Rupees one lakh only) and it was ordered that the<\/p>\n<p>property shall be proclaimed and sold on 31.01.2008. On 31.01.2008 property<\/p>\n<p>was sold for Rs.1,00,009\/- and purchased by the respondent as permitted by the<\/p>\n<p>executing court. Execution petition was posted on 03.03.2008 for confirmation of<\/p>\n<p>sale.  In the meantime       respondent filed Ext.R1(f)   claiming that even after<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) No.5499\/2010<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                        3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>appropriating the sum of Rs.1,00,009\/- towards the amount due under the<\/p>\n<p>decree a further sum of Rs.45,820\/- is due from petitioner and the said amount<\/p>\n<p>may be realised from petitioner and his other assets.     That execution petition<\/p>\n<p>was objected by petitioner vide Ext.R1(g) wherein he stated that after adjusting<\/p>\n<p>sale consideration Rs.1,00,009\/- towards balance amount due to respondent he<\/p>\n<p>has paid Rs.45,820\/- and hence the claim made in Ext.R1(f) is not correct. It is<\/p>\n<p>while so, that 265 days after the sale on 31.01.2008 petitioner filed E.A.<\/p>\n<p>No.228 of     2008 to set aside the sale alleging that there was no proper<\/p>\n<p>application of mind  and non-compliance of Rule 64 of Order XXI of the Code.<\/p>\n<p>      3.     Rule 90 of Order XXI of the Code enables judgment debtor to<\/p>\n<p>apply to set aside the sale on material irregularity or fraud in publishing and<\/p>\n<p>conducting the sale. There is no allegation of fraud so far as the present case is<\/p>\n<p>concerned. There is also no allegation touching any irregularity in conducting<\/p>\n<p>the sale.   What remained is whether there is any material irregularity        in<\/p>\n<p>publishing the sale and whether on the grounds pleaded by petitioner          the<\/p>\n<p>application came under Section 47 of the Code so that it is governed by Article<\/p>\n<p>137 of the Act or, it came under Rule 90 of Order XXI of the Code and is<\/p>\n<p>governed by Article 127 of the Act. In the decision referred to above, reliance is<\/p>\n<p>placed on the decision in <a href=\"\/doc\/1362442\/\">Desh Bandhu Gupta v. N.L.Anand &amp;<\/p>\n<p>Rajinder Singh<\/a> [(1994) 1 SCC 131]. It was held that a total absence of<\/p>\n<p>drawing up of proclamation of sale and settlement of its term by judicial<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) No.5499\/2010<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>application of mind rendered the sale a nullity which is covered by Section 47 of<\/p>\n<p>the Code. But non-application of mind to the question whether sale of a part of<\/p>\n<p>the property would satisfy the decree debt is a material irregularity doing<\/p>\n<p>substantial injury to the judgment debtor attracting Rule 90 of Order XXI of the<\/p>\n<p>Code. That decision and the decision relied on by learned counsel would show<\/p>\n<p>that Section 47 of the Code applied to a case of total absence of drawing up of<\/p>\n<p>proclamation of sale and settlement of its terms by judicial application of mind<\/p>\n<p>which rendered the sale a nullity.       On the other hand if it is a case of a<\/p>\n<p>proclamation of sale being drawn up without application of mind as to whether<\/p>\n<p>sale of a portion of the property is sufficient to discharge the decree debt it is not<\/p>\n<p>a case of total absence of drawing up of a proclamation of sale but only non-<\/p>\n<p>application of mind under Rule 64 of Order XXI of the Code in which case even<\/p>\n<p>as per the decision relied on by learned counsel and the decision in Desh<\/p>\n<p>Bandhu Gupta&#8217;s case (supra) it could only come under Rule 90 of Order XXI of<\/p>\n<p>the Code. Referring to the decision in Desh Bandhu Gupta&#8217;s case (supra) and<\/p>\n<p>other decisions on the point,      I had occasion to consider this aspect           in<\/p>\n<p>C.R.P.No.60 of 2010 and vide order dated 30.07.2010 it was held that where<\/p>\n<p>the allegation was only that proclamation of sale was drawn up without<\/p>\n<p>application of mind whether sale of a portion of the property is sufficient to<\/p>\n<p>discharge the decree debt, the case came under Rule 90 of Order XXI of the<\/p>\n<p>Code. In the present case there is a proclamation of sale drawn up by the<\/p>\n<p>executing court. No doubt, according to the petitioner it was without application<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) No.5499\/2010<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of mind as required under Rule 64 of Order XXI of the Code. The application,<\/p>\n<p>notwithstanding the label given to it (Section 47) came under Rule 90 of Order<\/p>\n<p>XXI of the Code governed by Article 127 of the Act. Admittedly the application is<\/p>\n<p>made beyond 60 days from the date of sale. Hence it is barred by limitation. I<\/p>\n<p>find no reason to interfere with the finding of executing court in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>       4.     Next question is whether executing court had applied its mind to<\/p>\n<p>the matter while fixing upset price. Even before upset price was fixed (as<\/p>\n<p>Rupees one lakh only) on 03.12.2007             respondent    produced Ext.R1(d),<\/p>\n<p>valuation certificate where value of the property was assessed by the Tahsildar<\/p>\n<p>as Rs.49,198\/-. On the side of petitioner, he had not produced any document.<\/p>\n<p>He did not take out a commission to conduct a local investigation as to value of<\/p>\n<p>the property. What was available was only the bald statement in his objection to<\/p>\n<p>the draft proclamation of sale that property is valued at Rupees four lakhs. It is<\/p>\n<p>taking into account valuation given by the Tahsildar in Ext.R1(d) that executing<\/p>\n<p>court fixed the upset price at Rupees one lakh.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>       5.     Reliance is placed by learned counsel for petitioner on Ext.P4,<\/p>\n<p>objection preferred by the respondent on the trial side to an application to<\/p>\n<p>substitute the property attached. It would appear that another item of property<\/p>\n<p>was attached before judgment and petitioner wanted that property to be<\/p>\n<p>substituted by the    property which is sold in auction.      In Ext.P4, objection,<\/p>\n<p>respondent (according to the petitioner) has stated that value          assessed by<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) No.5499\/2010<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                           6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Tahsildar   is Rs.2,50,000\/-.       Ext.P4 is   explained by learned counsel for<\/p>\n<p>respondent that it was concerning the property sought to be substituted and<\/p>\n<p>certain other items.     No attempt was made by petitioner to prove value of<\/p>\n<p>property as claimed by him even in E.A.No.228 of 2008. In the circumstances<\/p>\n<p>executing court found that there was nothing on record to show that property was<\/p>\n<p>valued as claimed by petitioner. It is with Ext.R1(d), valuation certificate on<\/p>\n<p>record that executing court, as against value of property suggested by<\/p>\n<p>respondent has fixed the upset price a Rupees one lakh. It cannot be said that<\/p>\n<p>there was no application of mind. I find little reason to interfere.<\/p>\n<p>       Writ Petition fails. It is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                  THOMAS P.JOSEPH,<br \/>\n                                                          Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>cks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Pradeepkumar vs Suseelan on 22 September, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 5499 of 2010(O) 1.
