Headnote:This matter concerns an application for stay of execution proceedings under Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, pending the final adjudication of a revision petition. The core dispute involves identification of premises by a court-appointed bailiff during execution, specifically in light of a previously submitted Local Commissioner's report. The Court reaffirmed the necessity for the executing court to adhere to the findings of the Local Commissioner regarding the distinct nature of the premises in question. The primary issue before the Court was whether the ongoing execution proceedings violated previous stay orders clarifying the scope of premises to be affected. The ratio decidendi of the Court emphasizes that execution proceedings must strictly align with judicial orders passed by the High Court clarifying the identity and segregation of properties to prevent any discrepancy during the execution process. The application for stay was disposed of with a specific direction to the executing court to incorporate the findings of the Local Commissioner in the ongoing execution process.
