Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the confirmation of the auction sale of Hindustan Nitro Product (Gujarat) Ltd. was valid as it followed adequate publicity and procedural compliance. The Court emphasized that objections to the sale should be raised before confirmation, and post-confirmation challenges are generally not permissible unless based on limited grounds such as fraud. The Court overturned the High Court's order recalling the sale, thereby upholding the appellant's rights as the highest bidder.
