A Bihar court has directed the auction of the Madhubani crematorium building and its land after a debt of ₹4.17 crore remained unpaid. The order follows a long‑standing dispute over the property’s ownership.
The High Court of Bihar has issued a notice directing the auction of the Madhubani crematorium building and its adjoining land. The order was taken after the property’s owner failed to settle a debt of ₹4.17 crore, which had accrued over several years.
The court’s decision follows a legal dispute that began when the crematorium’s management could not meet its financial obligations. The auction is intended to recover the outstanding amount and clear the title of the property.
Officials from the Madhubani district have been instructed to prepare the necessary documentation and to conduct the auction at a public venue. The auction is expected to take place within the next few weeks, pending the completion of required formalities.
The ruling underscores the judiciary’s stance on enforcing debt repayment and preventing the misuse of public properties. It also signals to other institutions that unpaid liabilities will be addressed through legal channels.
