Legal precautions while buying auction property from bank

Hi Experts,

I came across a suitable property available via e-auction in a private bank. However, as per the paper notice circulated by the bank, there is an encumbrance against partial share of the property which is created several years after the property was mortgaged in the bank. Presently, the property is in physical possession of the bank and it is available for e-auction in the next 45 days. I am eager to participate in the e-auction and buy the property, but, I am a little concerned about any further legal complications that may arise due to that encumbrance. I am looking for your expert suggestions / tips / precautions in this circumstance to help me arrive at a decision.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry don't rely on bank , They are just after getting their money back, They don't hesitate to put individual in trouble , means bad loan etc. they want to move to some one else.

Take help of good advocate who are specalized in property law. And go to bank ask them for all documents check it take opinion of advocate and then post what is eccumbrance on property.

Bank to recover money i came across many cases they sold disputed property to some third party and third party are regretting because they invested money and not getting property and bank have raised hands. 

So my charter accountant language never trust bank , they and group in the bank can do any thing

When you purchase property under SARFAESI Act from the bank, be also prepared for purchasing litigation. Unless the mortgagors consent for the sales, there is always scope for litigation for several months or years in DRT courts and civil courts. When you are in trouble the seller bank may not come for your help. Taking into consideration of all the aspects, you may take a proper decision.

Hi Mr. Raju, Mortgagors have already provided consent for Sales. It is that party to which the encumbrance for partial share of the property was sold by the mortgagors that I am concerned about. Since that party is clearly a third-party, what are the chances of future legal trouble. Please advise.

Encumbrance of share of a portion of the property would be a real headache inviting litigation from that third party. If his emcumbrance could be cleared either by you, bank or the mortgagors and if you get the property with 'nil-encumbrance', you may get peace.

Mr. Raju O.F has explained.

Is this third party aware/made aware of the E-auction?

Third party & the mortgagors are engaged in a Civil Suit. Mortgagors have claimed that they did not received the sales proceeds from the encumbrance in stipulated time and hence the registration is void. However, the case is pending in civil court. Meanwhile, Bank could not wait any longer as the liability became NPA and SARFESI procedure got initiated. Third party is aware of the e-auction. Please advise.

Let the court decide.

Stay away from purchase till then.

Proceed further only if you are ready to face any type of eventualities. Any how Bank will not come for your help. Because of all these defects you may get the property cheap, keeping good margin for litigation. Take wise decision thinking pros and cons.

Is it that the boundaries of partial share are clearly demarked and placed on record?

The bank can not now sell on throwaway price and has to sell on market price.

Please refer case no.
