CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE YASHVIR SINGH RATHOR
Present : Mr. Aman Sorout, Advocate
for the petitioners/defendants.
YASHVIR SINGH RATHOR , J. (ORAL)
1. This revision petition has been instituted by
petitioners/defendants under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for
setting aside the impugned order dated 06.04.2026 (Annexure P-6) vide
which the application for staying the operation of the judgment and decree
dated 22.10.2024 passed by learned Additional District Judge, Palwal, in
Civil Appeal No.11 of 2025, titled as Partap Singh Vs. Bijender Singh
Dagar and Another, has been dismissed.
2. In view of the nature of the order proposed to be passed,
issuance of notice to the respondents is dispensed with, as it would only
delay the proceedings and cause unnecessary expenditure to the
respondents.
3. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners/defendants
and have gone through the material placed on record.

4. A perusal of record shows that vide judgment and decree
dated 22.10.2024, the suit filed by the plaintiff/respondent has been de-
creed and a decree for possession by way of specific performance of the
agreement has been passed in his favour in respect of the suit property on
receipt of the balance sale consideration. Petitioners/defendants have in-
stituted an appeal against the aforesaid judgment and decree and have
sought stay of its execution during pendency of the appeal. However, the
said prayer has been declined vide impugned order. The relevant portion
of the order passed by the First Appellate Court is reproduced as under:-
“4. I have heard the parties and perused the record
carefully.
5. The perusal of the impugned judgment and decree
dated 22.10.2024 shows that the learned trial court has
granted the relief of specific performance to the extent of 8
kanals of land, out of property received by the appellant
without partition and the decree is not confined to any
particular killa nos. Therefore, the contention raised by
learned counsel for the appellant that the decree has become
inexecutable on account of non availability of specific killa
nos does not appear to be sustainable.
6. It is settled principle of law that where a co-sharer
enters into an agreement to sell in respect of specific killa
nos, out of joint property, such agreement amounts to
transfer of share in the joint property and not to any specific
share of land, prior to partition. Consequently, the
subsequent partition proceedings do not render such
agreement or the decree passed thereof, inexecutable and the
decree holder remains entitled to seek execution of the decree
from the share of the judgment debtor. Accordingly, at this

stage, no specific ground is made out for staying the
execution of the impugned decree. Hence, the present
application for staying the operation of impugned judgment
and decree is hereby dismissed
7. No expression of this order shall be construed to be an
opinion upon the merits of the case.
An application for bringing on record the LRs of
deceased Partap Singh moved by counsel for appellant.
Application is supported with a copy of death certificate of
Pratap Singh. Adjourned to 11.5.2026 filing reply to the said
application as well as for arguments on main appeal.”
5. The order reflects that sale deed has already been executed
during the execution proceedings. Now warrant of possession has been is-
sued and in case, the judgment and decree dated 22.10.2024 under chal-
lenge is implemented and possession is also delivered to the decree-
holder/respondent, the appeal filed by the defendants/petitioners bearing
