ORDER 1. Leave granted. 2. In view of the fact that both Central Bank of India and the State of Kerala claim the prior right to sell the property of the private respondent (the e Bank on the ground that the private respondent is its judgment-debtor and the State on the ground that the private respondent was a defaulter in respect of the payment under the State Sales Tax Act) we direct the sale of the properties of the private respondent by a Committee to be set up consisting of representatives of both the Bank and the State. The Committee shall settle the terms and conditions of sale and shall also have the property valued by a reputed valuer. The sale shall be held after public notice by open auction or by private negotiations between the Committed and such parties. Any such sale shall be subject to the confirmation of this Court.

The rights of the parties to the sale proceeds shall be determined at the hearing of these appeals. Before the sale takes place an inventory shall be prepared of all the properties intended to be sold. 3.
