Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that Section 60(1)(ccc) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, does not apply to attachments and sales conducted under the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887, as it is limited to execution of civil court decrees. The Court found that the High Court erred in granting a permanent injunction against the auction of the respondent's property, which was initiated for recovery of revenue due to the state. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside.
