Encumbrances more than market value Encumbrances more than market value

1 year ago

I have purchased a industrial property at Rs 35 lac in a bank auction under Sarfasaei Act where in bank declared in auction notice encumbrance of payables to electricity board (Rs.18 lac), Grampanchayat (Rs.2.5 lac), Coop IND estate Rs.6 lac, sales tax Rs 220 lac, excise Rs.385 lac. However, market value of property Rs 80 lac as per Govt valuer. My query is whether I am liable to pay more than market value to the said creditors. Supreme court has observed in AI Champady case in 2009 that encumbrance more than market value does not constitute encumbrance. Please advise.

However, sales tax authorities has encumbrance on the land registered on 7/12. Hence, they refuse to give NOC for transfer of plot to my name unless I pay their dues which are much more than plot value.

I am relying on Supreme court decision in case of AI Champady where they observed that encumbrance which diminishes value of asset to negative does no more remain encumbrance.

A.Dear Sir,
Nobody is suppose to pay more than bid amount. Further the bid amount cannot be less than dues on such property.
