THE GAUHATI HIGH COURT (HIGH COURT OF ASSAM, NAGALAND, MIZORAM AND ARUNACHAL PRADESH)
DEVASHIS BARUAH
Vijoy Chand Golcha, S/o. Late Chaganmai Golcha – Appellant
Versus
Shankar Banik, S/o. Late Nani Gopal Banik – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
(DEVASHIS BARUAH, J.)
Heard Mr. G. N. Sahewalla, the learned senior counsel assisted by Ms. S. Todi, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners and Mr. B. K. Sen, the learned counsel who appears on behalf of the respondent No.2.
2. The manner in which the learned Executing Court had exercised its jurisdiction in the Execution Case No.01/2016 shocks this Court, and as such, the instant proceedings is taken up for disposal at the stage of motion itself.

This Court finds no necessity of issuance of notice upon the Respondent No.1 as the same would only delay the execution proceedings unnecessarily and the interest of the Respondent No.1 is duly protected by the Respondent No.2 who is on caveat.
4. It is seen from the materials on record that the learned Coordinate Bench of this Court in RSA No.07/2001 decreed the suit in favour of the plaintiffs in so far as Schedule 4 is concerned. Pa

Objection to execution of decree – All questions arising between parties to suit in which decree was passed or their representatives relating to execution, discharge or satisfaction of decree must be....
A decree cannot be contested in execution if the property description was not contested in the original suit, underscoring the imperative to prevent frivolous litigation.
The Executing Court's jurisdiction under Section 47 of the Code of Civil Procedure is limited to executability issues, and merit-based challenges to decrees are not permissible.
The executing court cannot re-evaluate settled issues or entertain objections based on the merits of the original case; it must execute the decree as it stands.
The execution of a decree remains valid if filed within the allowed limitation period despite prior delays acknowledged by the decree holders.
Point of law: If once we accept the legal position that neither a contract for sale nor a decree passed on that basis for specific performance of the contract gives any right or title to the decree-h....
A proforma defendant without a decree cannot object to execution proceedings, affirming the requirement that issues must be raised during trial, not execution.
