3. Under challenge is the order dated 19.08.2000 passed by Ld. Additional District Judge, Ludhiana, allowing the appeal of the Judgment debtor by setting aside the Executing Court's order dated 03.10.1997 (whereby two objection petitions - one filed prior to sale under Section 47 CPC; and other filed after sale under Order XXI Rules 89 & 90 CPC were dismissed), and the matter was remanded for fresh consideration.
