NARAYAN YADAV (D) THR.LRS. vs THE STATE OF BIHAR .

The Supreme Court examined the application of Section 28 of the Bihar & Orissa Public Demands Recovery Act, 1914, regarding the requirement of deposit for setting aside an auction sale. The Court held that the failure to deposit the requisite amount within the stipulated time frame invalidated the objections raised by the respondent-writ petitioners. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order restoring the Certificate Officer's decision, thereby upholding the auction sale in favor of the appellants.
