NARAYAN BHONDOO PIMPUTKAR & ANOTHER . vs LAXMAN PURSHOTTAM PIMPUTKAR & ORS.

The Supreme Court ruled that the right to execute a decree for possession of watan land, obtained by a watandar, is not rendered inexecutible by the Gujarat Patel Watans Abolition Act, 1961, specifically under Section 4. The Court clarified that the language of Section 4 does not indicate any intention to make such decrees inexecutible, and the rights of erstwhile watandars to possession are preserved under Section 6 of the Act. Consequently, the respondent is entitled to execute the decree for possession of the land against the appellants.
