Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that the High Court erred in setting aside the Executing Court's order, which declared the decree from the Civil Court as a nullity due to lack of jurisdiction. The Court emphasized that the jurisdiction of the Mamlatdar was correctly challenged, and the subsequent Civil Suit filed by the respondents was valid. The Court upheld the Executing Court's decision, reinforcing the principle that a decree without jurisdiction is void and unenforceable under the law.
