ORDER :
V.SRISHANANDA, J.
1. Heard Sri. K. Srihari, learned counsel for the revision petitioner and Smt. Dharani for Sri. Ajith Shetty, learned counsel for the respondent.
2. Judgment Debtor in Execution Case No.76/2015 on the file of II Additional Civil Judge and JMFC, Kundapura is the Revision petitioner challenging the Order passed on I.A. No.1 filed under Order XXI Rule 50 read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure dated 18.06.2022.

The executing court is bound by the decree's terms and cannot entertain objections that do not pertain to jurisdiction, even if the decree is allegedly erroneous.
The executing court cannot go behind the decree unless it is a nullity, and re-agitating objections already dismissed in a previous petition would amount to an abuse of process of law.
