Rule 85, Kerala Co-operative Societies Rules | Sale Officer Must Sell Only Proportionate Portion of Mortgaged Property with Reserve Price : Kerala HC

The Kerala High Court has ruled that cooperative banks cannot auction entire mortgaged properties to recover dues - sale officers must determine and sell only the minimum portion sufficient to cover the debt, interest, and expenses, and must first fix a reserve price. This protects borrowers from disproportionate asset loss and enforces statutory safeguards under cooperative law.
