A purchaser sought to set aside the sale certificate and compel the liquidator to cooperate in identifying and demarcating mortgaged land. The tribunal held that land survey/demarcation is a statutory function requiring technical expertise and must be undertaken only by competent authorities under the Kerala Survey and Boundaries Act, 1961; the liquidator has no power to perform or substitute such adjudicatory exercise affecting civil rights.

The appeal was dismissed. - NCLAT
