(a) Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908)--- ----O. XXI, R. 90, second proviso---Auction proceedings---Objection petition under O. XXI, R. 90, C.P.C---Maintainability---Deposit of 20% of auction price/security---Mandatory requirement---Discretion of court was limited only to the extent of amount of security to be deposited (i.e. not exceeding 20%). Bare reading of the second proviso to Order XXI, Rule 90, C.P.C. clearly showed that the deposit of a sum of 20% of the auction price was mandatory for the application to be entertained in the first place, i.e. an application would not be maintained unless such a sum was deposited. Closer reading of the said provision also showed that the discretion provided to the court was not with respect to furnishing of the security at all, but rather the amount of the security to be deposited. Second proviso to Order XXI, Rule 90, C.P.C mandated every application under the said provision was to be accompanied by 20% of the auction price in order to be entertained.
