Balakrishnan vs Malaiyandi Konar

The Supreme Court held that the auction sale conducted under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, specifically under Section 47, was illegal as the Executing Court failed to consider the necessity of selling the entire property when the judgment debtor had made a substantial deposit. The Court emphasized that the Executing Court must apply its mind to the necessity of the sale before proceeding with it. The High Court's decision to set aside the auction sale and remand the matter for reconsideration was upheld, ensuring that the rights of the judgment debtor under the Tamil Nadu Debt Relief Act, 1980 were adequately considered.
