Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the decree obtained against the erstwhile management of Ganga Singh College was executable despite the college becoming a constituent unit of Bihar University during the pendency of the suit. The Court emphasized that the execution of the decree should not be hindered by the non-impleadment of the University as a party, as the University was bound by the decree due to the devolution of interest under Order 22 Rule 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The judgment of the Patna High Court was set aside, allowing the execution of the decree against the University.
