Summarize the following court judgment. Special Leave Petition No. 8862 of 1986 From the Judgment and order dated 26.3.1986 of the Karnataka High Court in C.R.P. 3084 of 1985. Padmanabha Mahale	 K.K. Gupta and Mrs. Leelawati Mahale for the Petitioner. The order of the Court was delivered by SEN	 J. In this special leave petition the short point involved is whether by reason of sub r. (2) of r. 92 of order XXI of the Code of Civil Procedure	 1908	 the deposit required by r. 89 not having been 736 made within thirty days from the date of sale	 the application made by the judgment debtor was not maintainable. Sub r. (2) of r. 92 has been amended by section 72 of the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act	 1976 by adding the words "the deposit required by that rule is made within thirty days from the date of sale"	 the following ' 'or in cases where the amount deposited under rule 89. within such time as may be fixed by the Court" to prevent any controversy as to the power of the Court to extend the time to make good the deficit. Unfortunately	 the words added speak of the deficiency owing to 'any clerical or arithmetical mistake ' on the part of the depositor. The amended r. 92(2) now reads: "92(2). Where such application is made and allowed	 and where	 in the case of an application under rule 89	 the deposit required by that rule is made within thirty days from the date of sale	 or in cases where the amount deposited under Rule 89 is found to be dificient owing to any clerical or arithmetical mistake on the part of the depositor and such deficiency has been made good within such time as may be fixed by the Court	 the Court shall make an order setting aside the sale: Provided that no order shall be made unless notice of the application has been given to all persons affected thereby. " The failure to deposit the amount entails confirmation of sale under O.XXI	 r. 91(1) and thereupon the sale becomes absolute. The limitation prescribed for an application under O.XXI	 r. 89 was thirty days from the date of sale under Schedule I	 article 166 of the Limitation Act	 1908	 now replaced by article 127 of the . The words "may apply to have the sale set aside on his depositing in Court" etc. show that not only the application	 but also the deposit	 should be made within thirty days from the date of sale. It is not enough to make the application within thirty days. Nor is it enough to make the deposit within thirty days. Both the application and the deposit must be made within thirty days from the date of sale. article 127 of the has now been amended by Act 104 of 1976 and the words 'sixty days ' have now been substituted for the words 'thirty days '. As a result of the amendment	 the limitation for an application to set aside a sale in execution of a decree	 including any such application by a judgment debtor under O.XXI	 r. 89 or r. 90 is therefore sixty days now. Such being the law	 there is need for an appropriate amendment of sub r. 737 (2) of r. 92 of the Code. Under O.XXI	 r. 89 as it now exists	 both the application and the deposit must be made within thirty days of the sale. The failure to make such deposit within the time allowed at once attracts the consequences set forth in sub r. (2) of r. 92. This is an unfortunate state of things and Parliament must enact the necessary change in law. In the present case	 the auction was held on July 26	 1985. The decree holder brought to sale in execution of a money decree for Rs.21	948.45p.	 the property of judgment debtor No. 1 comprised of a house and open site appurtenant thereto. The highest bid of Rs.22	500 offered by the auction purchaser was accepted and the bid was knocked down in his favour. The executing Court fixed the case for confirmation of sale on September 30	 1985. In the meanwhile	 judgment debtor No. 1 deposited Rs.22	000 on August 29	 1985 towards payment of the decretal amount together with an application under O.XXI	 r. 90 read with section 151 of the Code for setting aside the sale. Again	 on September 6	 1985 he made another application purporting to be under O.XXI	 r. 89 read with section 151 of the Code and made a deposit of the balance amount. The auction purchaser objected to the entertainment of the application contending inter alia that the deposit required by r. 89 not having been made within thirty days of the date of sale as required by r. 92(2) of the Code	 the sale was liable to be confirmed under sub r. (1) thereof. It is undisputed that the judgment debtor has deposited the entire decretal amount together with 5% of the purchase money by way of commission to the petitioner auction purchaser. The Principal Munsif	 Dharwar by his order dated October 4	 1985 overruled the objection raised by the petitioner. A learned Single Judge (Kulkarni	 J.) by his judgment dated March 26	 1986 declined to interfere with the order of the learned Munsif setting aside the sale. The learned Judge relying upon the decision of the Madras High Court in Thangammal & Ors. vs K. Dhanalakshmi & Anr.	 AIR 1981 Mad. 254 held that the provisions of O.XXI	 rr. 89 and 92(2) of the Code and that of article 127 of the should receive a harmonious construction. In that view	 the learned Judge held that the judgment debtor No. 1 having deposited the decretal amount together with 5% of the purchase money and having made the application under O.XXI	 r. 89 of the Code within sixty days of the sale i.e. within the period as provided by article 127 of the 	 the sale was liable to be set aside. The learned Single Judge has brought about the inconsistency between sub r. (2) of r. 92 of O.XXI of the Code and article 127 of the Limitation 738 Act and suggested that steps should be taken to remove this inconsistency. We fully endorse the view expressed by the learned Single Judge. In the result	 the special leave petition must fail and is dismissed. A.P.J. Petition dismissed.

The auction of the property of judgment debtor No. 1	 in execution of a money decree	 was held on July 26	 1985. The highest bid of Rs.22	000 offered by the auction purchaser was accepted. The case for confirmation of sale was fixed on September 30	 1985. In the mean while	 judgment debtor No. l deposited the bid amount on August 29	 1985 together with an application under O	XXI	r.90 read with section 151 of the Civil Procedure Code for setting aside the sale. On September 6	 1985	 he made another application under O.XXI r. 89 read with section 151 of the Code and made a deposit of the balance amount. The objection raised by the auction purchaser that the deposit required by r. 89 not having been made within 30 days of the date of the sale as required by r. 92(2) of the Code	 the sale was liable to be con firmed under sub r. (1) thereof	 was overruled by the Principal Munsif. This order was upheld by the High Court. Dismissing the SLP	 this Court	 ^ HELD: 1.
