In Brief
Golden Earth Groves Ltd obtained a decree against Ion Exchange Enviro Farms Ltd, which the latter sought to execute through property auction. The Supreme Court found that the judgment debtor had not been effectively served with notice in a language it comprehended, rendering the auction process defective. The Court set aside the auction sale and the execution order, instead requiring the judgment debtor to pay the decree amount directly within eight weeks. The Court also directed the Sub-Registrar to cancel the court auction sale in the property registers, emphasizing that procedural regularity and proper service are essential in execution proceedings.
