Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Executing Court erred in rejecting the Execution Petition based on reports not forming part of the original decree. The Court emphasized that once a decree is made, the Executing Court should only consider the documents and reports that were part of the original judgment. The Court overturned the High Court's confirmation of the Executing Court's order, asserting that the local commissioner's report and sketch should have been the basis for execution, thereby allowing the appellant to obtain possession of the land as per the decree.
