Rifakat Ali And Anr. vs Shyam Sunder And Ors.

High Court Of Judicature at Allahabad|25 February, 2004

JUDGMENT / ORDER

ORDER Anjani Kumar, J.
1. Heard Sri Ramendra Asthana, learned counsel for the petitioners.
2. The petitioners, who are judgment debtors, filed an objection to the further execution of the decree on the ground that the heirs of the deceased-decree holder have not been brought on the record and, therefore, this execution cannot proceed. The executing court rejected this objection and continued with the execution. Aggrieved thereby the petitioners filed a revision before the revisional court. The revisional court has categorically recorded a finding that there is no dispute that during the pendency of the execution and after the death of the deceased decree holder their heirs have executed a relinquishment deed in favor of remaining decree holders. In this view of the matter provision of Order XXI Rule 15 is applicable and there is no defect which may bar the execution of the decree.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioners, Sri Ramendra Asthana, argued that reading Order XXII Rule 12, C.P.C. along with Order XXI Rule 15 and in view of law laid down by this Court in Manmohan Dayal and Ors. v. Kailash Nath and Ors., AIR 1957 All 647, which is a Division Bench decision and a recent decision Makkhan Lal Jaiswal and Ors. v. Executive Engineer and Ors., 2002 (1) AWC 662. He particularly relied upon para 6 of the judgment which is reproduced below :
"6. In Manmohan Dayal and Ors. v. Kailash Nath and Ors., AIR 1957 All 647, Division Bench of this Court has observed that if an execution is already pending at the instance of the decree holder, his legal representatives, after his death need not make a fresh application for execution and it is sufficient that they apply for continuation of the proceedings in the pending execution."
4. In the Division Bench decision of this Court in AIR 1957 All 647, in para 2 the Division Bench referred to a Full Bench decision Baij Nath v. Ram Bharose, AIR 1927 All 165, that the legal representatives of two deceased decree-holders were entitled to ask for continuation of the execution proceedings without moving any application for execution. In the facts of the case in hand particularly where the deceased decree-holder had already executed relinquishment deed in favour of remaining decree-holders the question of bringing on record their heirs (deceased decree-holders) is not at all necessary either in law or in the interest of justice.
5. In these circumstances I do not find any error committed by the courts below. This writ petition has no force. It is accordingly dismissed.
