Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Section 115 CPC by interfering with the execution of a Lok Adalat award, which mandated the Respondent to execute a sale deed in favor of the Appellant. The Court established that the execution petition was valid as the Appellant had deposited the required amount of Rs. 9.5 lakhs, and the High Court's findings regarding the Appellant's financial capability were erroneous. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and reinstated the execution of the Lok Adalat award.
