Shri P.D. Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners.
CORAM : ROHIT B. DEO, J.
DATED :
08/04/2022.
The petitioners claim to be the legal heirs of Mr.
Ganeshrao Bele who was defendant 1(C) in Special Civil Suit
115 of 2000, which was decreed by the Civil Court vide
Judgment and Decree dated 23.09.2009.
2.
By the said Judgment and Decree, the suit is
decreed with the direction that the defendants including Mr.
Ganeshrao Bele, shall execute the sale-deed of the suit field in
favour of the plaintiffs on receipt of the balance
consideration.
3.
The plaintiffs/decree holders initiated execution
proceeding Special Darkhast 9 of 2010, in which the
Executing Court has passed an order dated 29.10.2021
directing the Nazir to execute the sale-deed of the suit
property. Further, order is passed on 13.12.2021, the
2 932 wp 1913.2022
operative part of the order reads thus :
“ORDER
1. An amount of Rs.62,635/- deposited by decree
holders vide C-No.988 on 11.01.2010 and belonging
to Morshi Seva Sahkari Society Ltd., registration
no.599, shall be deducted while paying the
consideration amount to judgment debtors, if
demanded by them.
2. Nazir shall take necessary entry in the C-register.
3.
Copy of this order be provided to Nazir
for information and necessary action.”
4.
According to the petitioners, they are the legal
heirs of Mr. Ganeshrao Bele. The petitioners claim that in
view of the provisions of Section 48(d) of the Maharashtra
Co-operative Societies Act 1960 (‘the Act’), the Executing
Court could not have directed the Nazir to execute the sale-
deed since there was an encumbrance on the field. It is
further submitted that there was no inquiry conducted and
the execution is even otherwise a nullity since Mr. Ganeshrao
Bele has expired on 16.05.2021, during the pendency of the
execution. The further submission is that the decree holder
ought to have brought on the record the legal heirs of Mr.
Ganeshrao Bele, before proceeding with the execution.
5.
It is admitted by the petitioners that pursuant to
3 932 wp 1913.2022
the order impugned, the Nazir has already executed the sale-
deed in favour of the decree holders on 27.12.2021. The
petitioners contend that the said sale-deed is illegal and one
of the prayer in the petition is that the sale-deed be set aside.
6.
This petition, in my considered view, is absolutely
misconceived.
7.
Lest there is any prejudice caused to the
petitioner, I am consciously refraining from making any
observation. Suffice it to say, that the petitioners have
appropriate remedies to assail the orders passed in the
execution.
8.
Leaving all contentions open for the petitioners to
raise before the appropriate forum, the petition is dismissed.
