Gujarat High Court Civil Manual (subordinate court practice), 1960
The enquiry specified in paragraph 371 must be as thorough as possible, for the Code casts on the Court the duty of ascertaining the facts to be entered in the proclamation. If the decree-holder refuses to take such steps, or call such witnesses as the Court considers necessary to enable it to ascertain the required facts, it is open to the Court to decline to issue the proclamation of sale.
