21-23-14. Examination of report of sale--Order and notice for formal hearing.
On receiving a report of sale the court shall determine on an inspection of the same and of the files of the case or proceeding, whether a hearing on said report is necessary for the protection of the rights of persons beneficially interested in the property sold. Ordinarily such hearing should be had, but where the court is satisfied that such hearing is unnecessary, or will serve no useful purpose, or will occasion delay which will interfere with the sale of the property, or the cost of giving notice because of the large number of persons involved will entail a large and disproportionate expense the court may by order dispense with a hearing upon notice, and make such order confirming or rejecting the sale as to the court seems appropriate.
If the court determines that there must be a formal hearing on application to confirm a sale it shall so order and fix a time for such hearing, and by such order prescribe the notice thereof to be given.
