1. In disposing of an execution petition the Sub-Court of Mayavaram in an order passed on April 9th, 1919, which the District Judge of Tanjore confirmed on appeal, extended the period of 12 years after which Section 48, C.P.C. declares that no order for the execution of decree shall be made upon any fresh application. This 12 years period has been extended by the executing Court by the addition of a period equal to that during which a stay of execution of the decree was once obtained by an order of Court in 1913.

Though the words "in the schedule" do not occur in this section or in Section 19 as they do in Sections 3 and 6, the word "prescribed" can in applying the Act and to suits under the general law refer to nothing else. This is the meaning given by this Court to the section in Narasimha D
