BY THE COURT: (PER HON'BLE A.M. SAPRE, J)
This is an intra court appeal filed by the writ
petitioner of Writ Petition No.2933 of 2007 under Rule 134 of
the Rajasthan High Court's Rules against an order dt. 6.5.2010
passed by Single Judge in aforementioned writ petition.
2.
In order to appreciate the issue raised in the
appeal, it is necessary to state the relevant facts infra.
3.
The appellant is an educational Institution. They
are running a School in the name of “Gandhi BaL Mandir” at
Jaisalmer. It is an aided Institution. The respondent No.1 is
working in this School as teacher. Some dispute arose between
the appellant and respondent No.1 regarding grant of benefit
{ 2 }
of selection scale of pay to the respondent No.1, which
according to the respondent No.1, he was entitled to claim
from the appellant. Since by two orders viz. 6.1.2001 and
30.1.2001, this benefit was denied to the respondent No.1 by
the appellant and hence respondent No.1 filed an appeal
under Section 19 of the Rajasthan Non-Government
Educational Institute Act, 1989 (for short called the Act) before
the appellate Tribunal constituted under the Act against these
orders for resolving such dispute.
4.
The Tribunal vide order dt 11.11.2002 allowed the
appeal filed by the respondent No.1 and set aside the two
orders dt 6.1.2002 and 301.2001 impugned by him in his
appeal. The appellant though aggrieved by this order did not
challenge this order and hence it became final.
5.
Since despite the appeal being allowed and the two
orders impugned therein having been set aside, no benefit of
any nature was being given to the respondent No.1 by the
appellant and hence the respondent No.1 (as decree holder)
was constrained to file execution application for execution of
the said order (11.11.2002) before the Civil Judge (Kanistha
Khand) Jaisalmer being execution case No.5/2004 for claiming
benefits flowing from such order. The appellant (as judgment
debtor) contested this application inter-alia on the ground
that firstly the decree holder is not entitled to claim any relief
much less relief which he has claimed and secondly the order
being in the nature of declaratory one, it has not awarded to
him any kind of monetary benefits, which are capable of being
recoverable iin execution of such order and lastly the
executing court can not go behind the order and grant any
fresh relief which was not originally granted to the decree
holder by the appellate court.

6.
The learned Civil Judge by order dt 17.4.2007
allowed the application made by respondent No.1 and directed
recovery of monetary benefits flowing from the said order for
being paid to the respondent No.1 by the appellant. It is
against this order, the appellant felt aggrieved and filed writ
petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India out of
which this intra court appeal arise. The learned Single Judge
by impugned order dismissed the writ petition and in
consequence upheld the order passed by the executing court
i.e. Civil Court. It is against this order; the writ petitioner has
now felt aggrieved and filed this intra court appeal.
7.
At the time of hearing of this appeal, one question
arose rather one objection in the form of preliminary one was
raised by the respondent. The question was as to the remedy
available to the appellant to challenge the order dt 17.4.2007
passed by Civil Court as an executing court? Viz. whether the
remedy of civil revision under Section 115 of C.P.Code is
available to the appellant (writ
