Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the execution application filed by the decree-holder was within the limitation period as prescribed under Article 136 of the Limitation Act, which allows for execution of decrees within twelve years from when they become enforceable. The Court clarified that successive applications for execution are permissible within this timeframe, and the High Court's decision to allow the revision petition was upheld. The appeal by the judgment-debtors was dismissed, affirming the execution of the decree in favor of the decree-holder.
