https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=291618 An execution sale conducted after the death of the sole judgment-debtor is void if the decree-holder fails to proceed against the legal representative under Section 50 CPC and omits notice under Order 21 Rule 22. The notice is treated as part of the court's jurisdiction to proceed where no representative is already on record, so its absence is not a mere irregularity. Prior attachment does not cure the defect or dispense with impleading the legal representative, and the purchaser's bona fides cannot validate a sale made without jurisdiction. The sale was therefore liable to be set aside. en-us Wed, 02 Oct 1935 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 19 Nov 2020 10:10:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=291618 An execution sale conducted after the death of the sole judgment-debtor is void if the decree-holder fails to proceed against the legal representative under Section 50 CPC and omits notice under Order 21 Rule 22.
