T. Vijendradas & Another vs M. Subramanian & Others

The Supreme Court interpreted Order XXI, Rule 92(4) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, holding that the failure to notify the judgment debtor about the reduction of the upset price in an auction sale is a violation of procedural requirements, rendering the sale invalid. The Court emphasized that the principles of natural justice must be adhered to in execution proceedings, and the auction sale conducted without proper notice was set aside. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, restoring the rights of the original plaintiff, Sakunthala.
