Pursuant to the judgment in O.S. No. 13 of 2019 on the file of the Special Judge, TNPID Court, Madurai, the immovable asset of the petitioner was attached. Thereafter, steps were taken to bring the immovable asset for sale. Communication dated 01.10.2026 is challenged in this Writ Petition on the ground that the upset price is much lower than the market price.
WP(MD) No. 29939 of 2026

Accepting notice for respondents 1 to 4, Mr. P.Pethu Rajesh, learned Additional Government Pleader, submits that the petitioner failed to contest the matter before the Special Judge, TNPID Court and also failed to challenge the attachment.
