The Supreme Court remarked that it was "quite shocking" that a bank auctioned a mortgaged property with a floor price of Rs 42 lakh for Rs 5.5 lakh. Since the sale was full of irregularities, the bank was directed to return the money to the auction purchaser with eight per cent interest from the sale in 1998. In this case, Olinda Femandis versus Goa State Cooperative Bank Ltd, the property belonged to seven members of a family. Three of them signed a mortgage deed for Rs 2 lakh, while others did not consent. The bank, nevertheless, sanctioned the loan. It was not returned, leading to the auction. The court set aside the auction and made arrangement to help one of the owners, who had opposed the mortgage.
