V.C.T.N. Chidambaram Chetti vs Theivanai Ammal on 6 April, 1923
9. Can it be said in this case that when I the appellant received notice Under Order 21, Rule 66, ho had any information as to what the properties were that were brought for sale? I have sent for the notice and I find the list of properties is not given in it. All that is stated therein is that a date had been fixed for settling the terms of the proclamation. The case is therefore on all fours with the case of the Full Bench in Chidambaram Chetti v. Theivani Ammal ('24) 11 A.I.R. 1924 Mad. 1 and following the decision in that case I find that the appellant is not barred by res judicata from raising the plea that the properties are not liable to be sold merely by reason of the fact that ho failed to be present on the date of hearing fixed for settling the proclamation. The appeal is allowed. The order of the lower appellate Court is set aside and the petition is remanded to the first Court for considering the question as to whether the properties are liable to be sold in execution or not and proceed with the petition. The costs of this appeal as also the costs of the lower appellate Court will follow and abide the final result of the execution petition.
