LAKSHMANSAMI GOUNDER vs C.T.SELVAMANI

The Supreme Court held that the omission of the specification of the place of sale in the publication under Section 36 of the Tamil Nadu Revenue Recovery Act, 1894 rendered the sale invalid. The Court emphasized that the mandatory requirement of publishing both the date and place of sale was not met, leading to the conclusion that the sale was illegal. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition, set aside the High Court's judgment, and restored the order of the Additional District Collector, thereby invalidating the sale.
