Road, Ernakulam, which is hereinafter referred to as the 1st judgment-debtor, for realisation of an amount of Rs. 2,41,083.77 and interest thereon.

The 9th judgment-debtor has filed C.M.A. No. 8/89 and the judgment-debtors 1 & 2 have filed C.M.A. No. 41/89 against the respective orders dismissing their application to set aside the sale.
