irregularity and fraud - Court alone should inform encumbrance, should
not direct auction purchaser to visit suit schedule of property Para 23
Court
auction purchaser/petitioner kept in dark about rights of respondent
and proceeded bonafidely by participating in public sale by depositing a
large sum
Judgment debtor played fraud on Court by suppressing mortgaging of property with 4th respondent/Bank Para 27
Petitioner/auction
purchaser has no right to file petition under Order 21 rule 90, but to
approach the Court by way of filing petition under section 47,151 C.P.C.
Para 28
As
per Order 21 Rule 66 clause (c) says that any encumbrance to which the
property is liable to be set aside, but in the present case in hand,
the Executing Court and the judgment debtor ought to have given the
particulars about the encumbrance, but both of them failed to give the
encumbrance in respect of auction sale property. Thus being the case,
the very first encumbrance made by the judgment debtor alone is right to
proceed, but in this case, the decree holder is the 2nd
