Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the auction of the property under Section 64(1)(A) of the Indian Chit Funds Act, 1982 was valid despite the subsequent repayment of dues by the respondent, as the auction purchaser's rights were protected once the sale certificate was issued. The Court emphasized that the execution proceedings were pending for an extended period, during which the respondent sold the property to a third party, complicating the matter. Ultimately, the Court upheld the auction purchaser's title to the property, affirming the dismissal of the revision application filed by the respondent.
