by learned advocate Mr. Jash Thakkar for the petitioners and
learned advocate Mr. Maulik G Nanavati on behalf of Juris
Legal Practitioners for the respondent.
3. It is submitted by the learned Senior Advocate for the
petitioners that the respondent herein filed Special Execution
Petition No.3 of 2023 before the learned Principle Senior Civil
Judge at Bhavnagar. Upon objections being raised, vide order
dated 06.08.2025, the Execution Petition was returned to the

Thereafter, the learned Principal District Judge, vide order

NEUTRAL CITATION

learned 3rd Additional District Court (Commercial Court),
Bhavnagar. A request for adjournment was rejected by the
learned Executing Court on 27.03.2026 and passed an order of
attachment of properties. It is submitted that without giving
any opportunity of being heard, the impugned order came to
be passed.
3.1. It is further submitted that the petitioners be given an
opportunity to represent their submissions by way of objections
before the learned Executing Court. It is further pointed out by
the learned Senior Advocate for the petitioners that the order
dated 27.03.2026 be quashed and set aside and the petitioners
be permitted to contest the Execution Application. Except
above, no other submissions were made by learned Senior
Advocate for the petitioners.
4. Per contra, learned advocate Mr. Maulik G Nanavati for
the respondent submitted that upon transferring the Execution
Petition before the learned 3rd Additional District Court
NEUTRAL CITATION

(Commercial Court), the process of execution served upon the
petitioners on 19.12.2025 and thereafter as many as six
adjournments were sought for by the petitioners for filing
objections. Thereafter, when on 27.03.2026, an application for
adjournment was submitted by the learned advocate for the
petitioners. Learned Executing Court, after observing the
conduct of the learned advocate for the petitioners, rejected
the application. It is submitted that after passing of the order
dated 27.03.2026, till today, the petitioners have not filed any
objections against the execution. Therefore, no interference is
required by this Court. Except above, no other submissions
were made by learned advocate for the respondent.
5. Having considered the submissions and on perusal of the
papers placed on record, it appears that originally the
execution petition was filed by the present respondent before
the learned Principal Senior Civil Judge, Bhavnagar being
Execution Petition No. 3 of 2023. The objections were raised
NEUTRAL CITATION

by the petitioners herein regarding territorial jurisdiction of the
learned Executing Court and the learned Executing Court vide
order dated 06.08.2025 returned the execution petition to the
petitioners to be presented before the appropriate forum.
Thereafter, the Execution Petition was filed before the learned
District Court, Bhavnagar, and, thereafter, the learned Principal
District Judge, vide order dated 03.09.2025 transferred the
execution petition before the learned 3 rd Additional District
Court (Commercial Court) Bhavnagar. It also appears from the
case details that after service of notice of execution, the
present petitioners have sought for number of adjournments for
filing the reply. When an application dated 27.03.2026 seeking
adjournment was filed, the learned Executing Court rejected
the application and issued an attachment warrant. There is no
debate on the fact on an application for adjournment, the
learned Executing Court issued attachment warrant against
opponents. Petitioners were not heard before issuance of
attachment warrant.

6. Considering the facts and circumstances appear on record,
I am of the view that the petitioners are required to be
granted a last chance to raise objections against the execution
and the learned Executing Court shall decide objections that
may be submitted after an opportunity of being heard given to
both the sides. However, it appears that the judgment and
decree is of year 2022, hence execution proceedings expected
to be decided within the stipulated time. In view of this, the
petitioners herein are directed to submit objections, if any,
before the learned Executing Court within a period of seven
days from today and the learned Executing Court after giving
an opportunity of being heard to both the sides shall decide
the controversy within a period of 15 days from the date of
presenting objections by petitioners.
7. Resultantly, the order dated 27.03.2026 passed by the
learned 3rd Additional District Judge, Bhavnagar, in Regular
Execution No. 1 of 2025 regarding issuance of attachment
NEUTRAL CITATION
C/SCA/6103/2026 ORDER DATED: 29/04/2026

warrant is hereby quashed and set aside. The learned
Executing Court shall decide the objections on merits and
thereafter shall pass appropriate order in accordance with law.
The present petition is allowed accordingly.
8. It is needless to observe that this Court has not gone into
the merits of the case. The petitioners as well as learned
advocate for the petitioners shall give full co-operation to the
learned Executing Court in getting the objections decided
within the stipulated time without asking for unnecessary
adjournments. Contentions of both the parties are left open.
