As per the earlier sale notice issued Sunday, the bank was to auction Sunny Villa, located at Gandhi Gram Road, to recover Rs 55.99 crore the actor owes the lender along with interest and cost from December 26 last year minus the recovery of the amount that has been made.

The corrigendum (an error to be corrected) comes a day after the BoB issued the e-auction notice. “Sale Notice in respect of Mr Ajay Sing Deol alias Mr Sunny Deol Stands Withdrawn due to Technical Reasons…” it read.
