KARNAL IMPROVEMENT TRUST, KARNAL vs SMT. PARKASH WANTI(DEAD)

The Supreme Court held that the execution of a decree cannot proceed until a valid award is made, referencing the earlier case of Karnal Improvement Trust v. Smt. Parkash Wanti, where the award was deemed illegal and non est. The Court ruled that since the previous award was set aside, the respondents cannot execute the decree until a new award is issued in accordance with the law. The appeal was disposed of without costs, affirming the necessity of a valid award for execution.
