Allahabad High Court: A Division Bench of Pankaj Kumar Jaiswal and Jaspreet Singh, JJ. dismissed the special appeal as it had no merit after having heard the Counsel for the appellants, Prem Shanker Pandey and Q.H. Rizvi, Addl. Chief Standing Counsel for the Respondent.

In the instant case, three people Paramjeet Singh, Jagjeet Singh and Baj Singh took a loan from Union Bank of India, for purchase of a truck. The Bank authorities sanctioned the loan on the security of 2/3rd land given by Paramjeet Singh and Jagjeet Singh. Baj Singh had mortgaged 1/4th share of another piece of land. When they could not repay the loan, a recovery certificate was issued by the Bank and thereafter an auction was held by the Naib Tehsildar. The land was auctioned to Major Singh. The land was again going to be re-auctioned. Therefore, Major Singh challenged the aforesaid re-auction by filing a writ petition which was later dismissed.

The second auction took place and yet again Major Singh became the highest bidder and the land was confirmed in his favour. Thereafter, Paramjeet Singh and Jagjeet Singh filed a Writ Petition thereby an order of the Court was passed. The Court observed that if the writ petitioners deposit 25% of the outstanding amount within one month from the date of the order, their property would not be attached and put to auction and if auctioned, the same will not be confirmed and the same may be kept in abeyance. Further to this, a review was filed by Major Singh which was entertained and the aforesaid order was modified as the material facts that land in question was already sold or auctioned were concealed to get such an order at the first place.

The Court rejected the recall application against the above order filed by the appellants. The sale was confirmed in favour of Major Singh on the basis of an order passed by this Court giving due consideration as to the fact that the appellants had obtained an order by concealing the material facts that land in question was already sold/auctioned.[Paramjeet Singh v.
