HIGH COURT OF DELHI
Manoj Jain, J
NIRMALA DEVI – Appellant
Versus
MOOLA DEVI (DECEASED) THROUGH L.R – Respondent
CM(M) 515/2025



Advocates:
UMESH CHANDRA SHARMA

The issuance of a warrant of possession follows the dismissal of objections and is subject to pending appeals concerning the same premises.

Headnote:(A) Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 - Execution of Decree - The petitioner challenges the order directing issuance of warrant of possession and permission to break locks, which followed the dismissal of objections regarding the suit property - The petitioner’s appeal was deemed not maintainable by the First Appellate Court - The second appeal is pending consideration - The issues raised in the petition and the pending appeal are similar, with disputes over the premises involved. (Paras 1-6)

(B) Warrant of Possession - The court noted that the issuance of a warrant of possession is a direct consequence of dismissing the objections raised by the petitioner. (Para 6)

Facts of the case:
The petitioner, an objector, had her objections dismissed in 2018, leading to a warrant of possession regarding the suit property, which she challenges through a pending second appeal.

Findings of Court:
The court decided to list the petition before the same Bench to avoid conflicting observations.

Issues: The main issues include the maintainability of the appeal and the validity of the warrant of possession concerning the premises.

Ratio Decidendi: The court emphasized the need to avoid conflicting decisions and noted that the warrant of possession is a direct result of the dismissal of objections.

Result: Petition listed for hearing on 20.03.2025.

ORDER :

1. Present petition challenges order dated 27.02.2025 whereby the learned Executing Court has directed issuance of warrant of possession while also granting permission to break upon the locks and doors.

2. Petitioner is objector before the learned Executing Court and, admittedly, her objections were decided on 09.03.2018 by the learned Executing Court whereby objections filed by her as well as Mrs. Mithlesh Sharma and Mrs. Renu were dismissed and simultaneously, there was a direction for issuance of warrant of possession with respect to the suit property.

3. Ms. Nirmala Devi, challenged the above said order by filing an appeal and her such appeal i.e. RCA DJ 50/18 was dismissed by the learned First Appellate Court, holding that such appeal was not maintainable.

4. Mrs. Nirmala Devi, accordingly, filed a second appeal which was registered as EX.S.A. 3/2024 and such appeal is pending consideration before the learned Coordinate Bench of this Court presided over by HMJ Dinesh Kumar Sharma and the next date in such second appeal is stated to be 29.04.2025.

5. Learned counsel for petitioner, in all fairness, submits that since there was delay in lodging the above said appeal and since the question of law has yet not been framed, he was in no position to move any application seeking stay with respect to the further proceedings in the above said Execution Petition.

6. It seems quite obvious that the issues raised before this petition and in the above said appeal are, virtually, the same and similar and, according to objector, the decree is with respect to one premise and the execution being sought is with respect to other and, therefore, warrant of possession cannot be issued. The issuance of warrant of possession is direct fall out of dismissal of her objection. In order to avoid any conflicting observations, subject to orders of Hon’ble the Chief Justice, list the present petition before the same Bench on 20.03.2025.
