Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an Interlocutory Application in Civil Appeal No. 6421 of 2003 concerning the award of interest by the executing court. The Court held that the executing court has the power to award interest from the date of the decree until realization, even if not explicitly mentioned in the decree, referencing the precedent in State of Punjab v. Radha Ram. However, the Court dismissed the application for lack of reasonable opportunity for the applicant to be heard, affirming the earlier decision without granting the requested relief.
