KHAZAN SINGH (D) BY LRS. vs GURBHAJAN SINGH .

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of a decree from 1953 regarding possession of land under Khasra No. 2057 to 2059. The Court held that actual possession was not delivered as per the decree, leading to the dismissal of a subsequent suit for possession, citing the principle that a fresh suit is not maintainable when a decree is executable. The Court reaffirmed the legal position established in Sasi Sakharewar Ray Vs. Lalit Mohan Maitra (AIR 1925 Privy Council 34) regarding the preclusion of a fresh suit for possession when a decree exists.
