Order No. 14/ Dated:07th August, 2025
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner (judgment debtor) and learned counsel for the opp. Party No. 1(iv). Since rest of the respondents has not turned up in spite of valid service of notice, hence the case has proceeded ex-parte hearing against them.
2. The present Civil Revision is directed against the order dated 01.09.2021 passed by Civil Judge, Sr. Division, Jamshedpur in Execution Case No. 123 of 2015 whereby the plaintiff/opposite party has been directed to comply the order passed by the superior court while decreeing the suit of the plaintiff.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a Misc. Application No. 72 of 2018 was filed before the executing court by the Petitioner under Section 47 CPC on the ground that the decree itself is not executable and obtained by playing fraud with the Court.

4. Elucidating his argument, it is submitted that on ground (vi) of this memo of instant revision, it is specifically pleaded that the suit land for which specific performance of contract was decreed, belongs to State of Jharkhand (recorded as Anabad Bihar Sarkar, now Jharkhand). There was no pleading of either of the parties that the suit property belonged to State of Jharkhand and therefore no issue was settled in this regard although the State of Jharkhand was necessary party in the suit, in absence of whom no effective decree can be passed. Therefore, order passed by the learned Court below directing the petitioner to deposit the balance consideration amount in favour of defendant No. 1 and execution of the sale deed within two months is absolutely illegal order and liable to be set aside since the application under Section 47 CPC filed by the petitioner has not been disposed of as yet.
5. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the opp. Party No. 1(iv) has submitted that the opp. Party being decree holder has fought upto the Hon'ble Supreme Court and the decree passed by the High Court was confirmed and upheld which has attained finality and the questions raised by the petitioner regarding ownership of the property cannot be decided in this execution proceeding. It is settled law that execution court cannot go behind the decree.
6. It is further submitted that the present petitioner himself has purchased the suit property from the defendant No. 1 assuming him to be owner of the property in spite of fact that an agreement for sale has been executed in favour of plaintiff/respondent. It is submitted that the petitioner has also contested the suit as a party but did not raise any such objections and now with a view to harass the decree holder, he is stating absurd pleas. Therefore, there is no merits in this revision which is fit to be dismissed.
7. I have gone through the impugned order in the light of rival submissions of the parties. It appears that the present petitioner has contested the suit for specific performance lodged by the O.P. No. 1 namely Satya Narayan Sharma (plaintiff) in the original title suit No. 84
2025:JHHC:22491
of 2006 which was decreed in part against the defendant No. 1 and on contest against defendant No. 2 by the trial Court and in the first appeal No. 102 of 2011 was decreed in full by the Hon'ble High Court of Jharkhand which was also affirmed by the Hon'ble Apex Court in S.L.P. (Civil) No. 2177 of 2016 vide order dated 06.03.2017. Learned counsel for the petitioner has not raised any question to be entertained within the provisions of Section 47 CPC rather has raised a very new and strange ground of non-impleadment of State Government as a necessary party. Such type of objection cannot be raised at the time of execution of the decree.
8. In view of the above, I do not find any merits in the submissions raised on behalf of the petitioner. Accordingly, this revision stands dismissed.
