The certified copy of the order dated July 20, 2024 has been filed in Court today, which is taken on record.
As prayed for by Ms. Chakraborty learned advocate for the petitioner leave is granted to the advocate on record of the petitioner to amend the preamble portion of the civil revision application, here and now.
The opposite party herein filed a suit for specific performance of contract. Such suit was decreed ex parte on December 12, 2016.
The petitioner herein filed a misc case under Order
9 Rule 13 of the Code of Civil Procedure praying for setting aside the ex parte decree. In the meantime, the ex parte decree was put into execution giving rise to Title Execution Case No.56 of 2018.
The petitioner filed an application praying for stay of all further proceedings in the title execution case. Alleging that the petitioner herein have inducted a lessee in a portion of the decretal property and is earning a substantial rental income therefrom, the opposite party herein filed an application praying for a direction upon the petitioner to pay occupation charges as a condition for stay of the execution case.
By an order dated December 16, 2023 the learned Executing Court passed an order of stay of the execution case subject to payment of occupation charges at the rate of Rs.8000/- per month.

Mr. Bhattacharya submits that no copy of such lease deed has been supplied to the opposite party herein.
The learned advocate on record of the petitioner is directed to supply a copy of the lease deed to the learned advocate for the opposite party herein in course of this day.
