1. This petition, under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, challenges an order dated 1st April, 2022, passed by the learned Additional District & Judge ("the learned ADJ"), in Execution Petition 245/2021.
2. Execution Petition 245/2021, preferred by the respondent against the petitioner, sought execution of a judgment and decree dated 19th February, 2020, passed by the learned ADJ in CS 9831/2016 (Ishwar Industries Ltd. v. M/s Gallus Chattels Pvt. Ltd.).

The executing Court cannot go behind the decree and must execute it according to its tenor, and cannot entertain objections to the decree's correctness in law or on facts, unless it is a nullity or p....
A suit which has not been properly valued and proper court fee has not been paid, can rejected in terms of Order 7 Rule 11 of CPC.
Objection to execution of decree – Running a separate miscellaneous proceeding under Section 47 of CPC is a misuse of process of court.
Unconscionable laches can bar relief in petitions under Article 227; courts will not interfere unless there are grave abuses or derelictions.
