Application to set aside sale of immovable property on ground of irregularity or fraud

When any immovable property has been sold under this Chapter in execution of a decree, the decree-holder or the person, who owned such property immediately before the sale may, at any time within a period of thirty days from the date of sale, apply to the Deputy Commissioner to set aside the sale on the ground of a material irregularity or fraud in publishing or conducting it; but no sale shall be set aside on the ground of a irregularity unless the applicant proves to the satisfaction of the Deputy Commissioner that he has sustained substantial injury by reason of such irregularity: Provided that, if a person applies under Section 212 to set aside the sale of his immovable property, he shall not be entitled to make an application under this Section. (2) If an application be made under this Section, and if the objection be allowed, the Deputy Commissioner shall pass an order setting aside the sale.
