The said decree was put into execution giving rise to Title Execution Case no. 27 of 2024.

5. The learned Executing Court, by an order dated December 18, 2024 after deciding the issue of maintainability in favour of the opposite parties herein allowed the petition for police help.
6. Being aggrieved, by such order, the judgment debtor has approached this Court.
7. Mr. Mukherjee learned Senior Advocate appearing in support of the Civil Revision Application contended that the opposite parties are trying to recover possession of an immovable property by executing a decree of mandatory injunction.

By drawing the attention of the Court to the Tabular Statement/ the application for execution of decree Mr. Mukherjee contended that the opposite party herein is trying to recover possession of the suit property. He submitted that the execution application is not maintainable as the opposite party herein has sought for a direction upon the bailiff to deliver the vacant Khas possession of the decretal property in favour of the opposite parity. In support of such contention Mr. Mukherjee placed reliance upon a decision of a co-ordinate bench in the case of Gita Devi Marulia vs. Asansol Medical Centre reported at (2016) 1 CHN 469.
8. Per contra the learned advocate for the opposite party contended that the opposite party prayed for execution of the decree for mandatory injunction. He contended that the petitioner was directed to remove the bamboo poles from the suit property which implies after removal of the bamboo poles the possession is to be handed over to the opposite parties.
