IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA

Civil Appeal No. 4204 of 2007

Decided On: 11.01.2017

Appellants: United Finance Corporation Vs. Respondent: M.S.M. Haneefa

Hon'ble Judges/Coram:

JUDGMENT

R. Banumathi, J.

1. This appeal arises out of order passed by the High Court of Kerala at Ernakulam allowing the revision in CRP No. 894 of 2005 dated 2nd January, 2006 and thereby dismissing the application filed by the Appellant under Order XXI Rule 95 Code of Civil Procedure on the ground that the application is barred by limitation and declining direction for delivery of possession of the immovable property purchased in the court auction sale to the Appellant.

2. Brief facts which led to filing of this appeal are as under:

The Appellant/Corporation-decree holder filed a suit for realisation of the suit claim and the said suit was decreed for a sum of Rs. 2,72,100/- along with interest. In execution of the decree, the property of Respondent/judgment-debtor was auctioned on 27th October, 2001 and the same was purchased by the Appellant/decree-holder himself. The Appellant/decree holder purchased Schedule item No. 2 property to an extent of 1 acre and 50 cents comprised in Survey No. 458/1 of Parassala Village along with the building situated therein. The sale was made absolute on 1st June, 2002. Sale certificate was issued to the Appellant on 17th March, 2003. In the meanwhile, the first Respondent/judgment-debtor filed an application to set aside the auction sale (Order XXI Rule 90 Code of Civil Procedure) and also another application for appointment of the Commissioner to value the property. Both the applications came to be dismissed by the executing court. Being aggrieved by the order dismissing the Commissioner's application (E.A. No. 77/2002), the first Respondent/judgment-debtor filed revision before the High Court in C.R.P. No. 2829/2002 in which the High Court has granted stay of further proceedings in the execution petition. The Civil Revision Petition came to be dismissed on 9th July, 2003.
