The auction-purchaser is immune from enforcement of a charge not mentioned in the sale proclamation due to the operation of Section 100 of the Transfer of Property Act, but the omission does not constitute substantial injury where other properties remain available to enforce the charge. Therefore, the application to set aside the sale should be dismissed.
