ORDER
Per: Justice Vivek Rusia
The present Writ Appeal is filed against the order dated 16.10.2025,
whereby the writ petition seeking direction/command for providing adequate
police force to get the judgment and decree executed has been rejected by the
writ court.
2. The appellant/petitioner has obtained the decree of specific
performance in respect to a shop no 11, which is under execution for
possession. Initially, the suit was decreed only in respect of the refund of the
advance amount. Thereafter, the first appeal was allowed, directing the owner
to receive the balance amount of Rs.19,000/- and execute the sale deed in

favour of the original plaintiff. The defendant challenged the said judgment
and decree in a second appeal before the High Court as well as the Apex
Court, and remained unsuccessful. Thereafter, the appellant/petitioner
initiated the execution proceedings, in which the respondent No.3 objected
that the shop in dispute had already been sold to M/s Ashiyana
Constructions; therefore, the vacant possession of the shop in question
cannot be given. The Writ Court held that there is a dispute in respect of
identification and location of the shop in question and without
demarcation/identification, the decree cannot be executed, and disposed of
the writ petition by directing that it is only the possession which required to
be handed over and as soon as the demarcation proceedings attained finality,
the possession cannot be handed over. Hence, the respondents have been
directed to ensure the execution of the judgment and decree passed by the
First Appellate Court. The direction given by the Writ Court is not liable to
be interfered with in this appeal.
3. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that by giving direction
to the police to provide protection at the time of taking possession, the decree
will not be executed, hence only a direction be issued to that effect in this
way.
4. In every execution proceeding of the decree in civil nature, the
police cannot be directed to use force to get the decree executed. The
Executing Court is required to record its satisfaction first about the
identification and location of the property in execution, and then only the
direction to the police can be given if so required in the given facts and

circumstances. As on today, there is no material on record to issue such a
direction for police assistance in the execution of the decree. The Civil
Court is competent to give such a direction to the police for assistance if the
occasion so arises or on the basis of the report to be submitted by the
Machkuri. No case for interference is made out with the order dated
16.10.2025, passed by the Writ Court.
5. In view of the above, the writ appeal is accordingly disposed of.
