Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the State's revision petition against the executing court's order dated 15.09.1997, which directed the attachment of the State's moveables for non-payment of compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court found no merit in the State's argument that the decree-holder failed to file a calculation memo, emphasizing that the executing court had provided both parties an opportunity to be heard before passing its order. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the execution order and the compensation awarded to the respondents.
