For these reasons we allow the appeal, set aside the judgment of the High Court and confirm that of the learned Subordinate Judge, Koraput, setting aside the court sale in favour of respondent 2. There will be no order as to costs.

Judgment, Last paragraph (201F-G)

From the headnote

private sale dated January 2, 1964 respondent 3 had no saleable interest left in the property which could be put to auction. The auction sale therefore cannot displace the title of the appellant which is the same thing as saying that as between the title of the appellant and the so called title of the auction purchaser the appellant's title must prevail.
