the scope of the expression as to when the sale becomes absolute in the case of Chandra Mani Salta and Ors vs. Anarjan Bibi and others AIR 1934 PC 134 it was held as under: " .. .In order to ascertain when such a sale as is referred to in the said Article becomes absolute, refernce must be made to the Civil Procedure Code, and the orders and rules contained in the Sch.! thereto, for that is the Code which contains the provisions relatingto the sale of immoveable property in execution of decrees. Order 21, Rules 82 to 96, in the said schedule are applicable to sales of immoveable property.

In the present case, the High Court dismissed the appeals and on such dismissal the orders of the Subordinate Judge confirming the sales became effective and the sales became absolute: In considering the meaning of the words in Article 180 of the Limitation Act, it is useful to consider the converse case. Take a case in which the Subordinate Judge allowed the application to set aside the sale; in that case, of course, there could be no confirmation of the sale as far as the Subordinate Judge was concerned, as there would be no sale to be confirmed; But if, on appeal, the High Court allowed the appeal, and disallowed t.he application to set aside the sale,·
