JUDGMENT :

M. SATYANARAYANA MURTHY, J.

1. This Civil Revision Petition, under Section 115 of C.P.C, is filed by the judgment debtors in the proceedings in E.P.No.10 of 2015 in A.R.C.No.592 of 2014 questioning the order dated 23.10.2018 passed by the Principal District Judge, West Godavari at Eluru whereby attachment of the property was ordered under Order XXI Rule 54 of C.P.C as a step to proceed further under Order XXI Rules 64 to 66 of C.P.C.

2. The petitioners are the judgment debtors in the Arbitration Case and the respondent obtained an award to recover an amount of Rs.1,72,10,736/- in total, together with costs. The respondent filed the Execution Petition by invoking Order XXI Rules 54 and 64 to 66 of C.P.C to attach the petition schedule property and for sale in order to realise the amount due under the award.

3. The petitioners herein, who are the judgment debtors before the Executing Court, filed a counter denying the material allegations inter alia contending that the 2nd petitioner herein-Smt. K.Mrunalini is also one of the sharers along with the 1st petitioner, as the property was acquired by her grand father and the property is an ancestral property of the joint family. But, this contention was rejected by the Executing Court on the ground that the petitioners did not produce any documentary proof that the property was acquired by the grand father of the 1st petitioner and ordered attachment under Order XXI Rule 54 of C.P.C.

4. Aggrieved by the said order, the present revision under Section 115 of C.P.C is filed reiterating the contentions urged before the Executing Court. While highlighting the non-consideration of the order passed by the Vacation Civil Judge in I.A.No.132 of 2018 in O.S.No.37 of 2018 dated 22.05.2018, though filed along with a memo dated 06.06.2018, whereby an order of interim injunction was passed restraining respondents 1 and 3 to 7 therein from alienating the property during the pendency of the suit, the petitioners sought to set aside the impugned order passed by the Executing Court.

5. During hearing, Sri K.R.Koteswara Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners, reiterated the contentions and more particularly demonstrated as to how the Executing Court did not consider the interim order passed in I.A.No.132 of 2018 in O.S.No.37 of 2018 dated 22.05.2018. While contending that, in case the property is sold in execution of the decree for realisation of the debt in the Arbitration Case, substantial injustice would be caused to the petitioners, the learned counsel requested to set aside the order passed by the Executing Court and release the property from attachment.

6. Undisputedly, the award was passed in A.R.C.No.592 of 2014 by the Arbitrator and to realise the decree debt, Execution Petition No.10 of 2015 was filed under Order XXI Rules 54 and 64 to 66 of C.P.C. The only contention raised by the petitioners before the Executing Court is that the 2nd petitioner-Smt. K.Mrunalini is also one of the sharers along with the 1st petitioner, as the property was acquired by her grand father and the property is an ancestral property of the joint family. This contention was not substantiated before the Executing Court by producing any piece of paper to establish that this property was acquired by the grand father of the 2nd petitioner and father of the 1st petitioner. Therefore, the Executing Court disbelieved the contention that the property was acquired by the grand father of the 2nd petitioner and ordered attachment. Even assuming for a moment that the order in I.A.No.132 of 2018 in O.S.No.37 of 2018 dated 22.05.2018 is brought to the notice of the Court below by memo dated 06.06.2018, the said order only places a restraint against respondents 1 and 3 to 7 therein from alienating the schedule property till 26.06.2018. But, thereafter, the interim order was not extended as per the material produced on record and, in fact, the attachment is not an alienation by respondents 1 and 3 to 7 in O.S.No.37 of 2018 or
