SANDEEP KUMAR
Sudarshan Prasad – Appellant
Versus
Rajpati Devi – Respondent
Sandeep Kumar, J.—Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent.
2. In this case, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 16.12.2019 passed by the learned Munsif, Hilsa in Execution Case No.01 of 2018, by which the objection petition dated 06.04.2019 filed by the petitioner opposing the maintainability of the said execution case, has been dismissed.

The execution of an ex parte decree is not barred by limitation if the decree has merged with a revisional order, resetting the limitation period for enforcement.
The period for executing a decree runs from the date of the appellate decree, even when there is an appeal regarding part of the decree.
The doctrine of merger and the starting period of limitation for execution of a decree are crucial legal principles established in the judgment.
A second execution petition filed after the limitation period is barred, and withdrawal of an earlier execution does not extend the limitation period.
Execution of decree – Execution can proceed even if formal decree is not drawn – Quoting a wrong statutory provisions does not create a bar and stand in way of considering application.
The enforceability of a decree begins from the judgment of the appellate court, not from the original decree, thus validating timely execution petitions.
The dismissal of an appeal for want of prosecution does not constitute a decree, and the doctrine of merger does not apply, as the original decree remains enforceable from its issuance.
