      To withdraw a petition for a compulsory auction after a purchase offer has been made, the consent of the highest bidder or the purchaser and the next highest bidder must be obtained; provided, however, that this does not apply when there is any other attaching obligee (excluding an attaching obligee who filed a petition for a compulsory auction or an auction after the deadline for a distribution demand) and the withdrawal does not cause any change to the matter stated in Article 62, paragraph (1), item (ii).
