JUDGMENT
1. This petition has been preferred by the petitioner/judgment debtor against the order dated 19.5.2011 (Annexure-P-5) passed by the executing Court rejecting an application filed by it and also against the order dated 19.6.2012 Annexure-P-9 passed by it whereby the petitioner has been directed to furnish an affidavit to the effect as to whether it is creating obstruction in possession of respondent or not.
2. The petitioner Krishi Upaj Mandi allotted plot No. 68 to the respondent/decree holder by virtue of a lease deed executed on 1.1.1968 for a period of thirty years. Subsequently, the lease deed was renewed on 30.8.1979 with a renewal clause as per which the lease could be renewed. A suit was filed by the respondent for declaration and permanent injunction in which a compromise was entered into between the parties on 7.7.1999 and a decree in terms of the said compromise was passed on 17.11.1999. The terms of the compromise were that the respondent had filed a map for sanction on 25.7.1982 which was to be sanctioned by the petitioner and the respondent was at liberty to raise construction on the plot as per terms of the lease deed. A decree for permanent injunction was granted in favour of respondent restraining the petitioner from interfering with her possession over the plot.
3. On 31.8.2009 the respondent filed an application under Order 21 rule 32 and 34 of the CPC alleging breach of the decree submitting that the petitioner is interfering with his possession over the plot and can forcibly dispossess her therefrom at any time. Reply was filed by the petitioner to the said application.
4. The petitioner also filed an application to the effect that it is only the respondent who is entitled to make construction over the plot but the same is being got done by her through her power of attorney holder which is impermissible. The respondent filed reply to the said application. By order dated 19.5.2011 the application filed by the petitioner was rejected by the executing Court observing that mere absence of respondent and her acting through her Power of Attorney Holder would not make any difference. However it was also observed that the lease deed of respondent is still in force and until and unless the same is cancelled, it shall continue to be effective.
5. Thereafter by order dated 19.6.2012 the executing Court has directed the petitioner to file an affidavit to the effect that it is not interfering in possession of the respondent nor is creating any obstruction in her access to the plot. It was observed that the application under Order 21 rule 32 of the CPC shall be considered only thereafter.
6. The order dated 19.5.2011 was in respect of decision of an application filed by the petitioner contending that the respondent is not herself taking any action with respect to the plot but is acting through her Power of Attorney Holder which is impermissible. The said application was rejected by the executing Court observing that merely because the respondent is acting through her Power of Attorney Holder, it would not make any difference. In the order it was also observed that the decree for permanent injunction against the petitioner is still in force and the lease deed of the respondent is effective at present also. The said observations have been made by the executing Court on its own and nothing has been brought on record to show that any objection was raised before it as regards executability of the decree hence there was no occasion, necessity or justification for the executing Court to have made such observations. It was only deciding an application filed by the petitioner and should have confined itself to the determination of that application itself. It has rightly rejected the application but has made uncalled for observations.
7. The decree which is being enforced by the respondent is for permanent injunction and is enforcible under Order 21 rule 32 of the CPC. Respondent has alleged contravention by the petitioner who
The main legal point established in the judgment is the conclusive nature of the determination between the parties and the decree-holder under Order XXI Rule 97 of CPC, and the application of this pr....
To initiate proceedings under Order 21 Rule 32 CPC, specific details of the alleged violation must be provided, which the appellant failed to do.
The executing court has jurisdiction to enforce decrees, including injunctions, and can act against violations by judgment debtors.
