Dated this the 7th day of April,2021
J U D G M E N T
This original petition is filed by the
judgment debtor in E.P.No.352/2011 in
O.S.No.671/1993 pending on the file of Sub Court,
Palakkad, seeking to set aside Ext.P14. The decree
sought to be executed before the court below is one for specific performance of contract of sale.
2. It is submitted by the learned counsel
for the petitioner that change in the description
of boundary as well as survey number of the suit
property was pointed out before the court below
and ultimately, the issue as to identity came to
be challenged before this Court in W.P.
(C)No.15256/2010. Consequent upon Ext.P8 judgment
in the said writ petition, a commission was taken
out to locate the boundary and a report was filed.
3. It is further submitted that the
petitioner filed objection to the commission
report which was not taken notice of by the court
below and consequently, the matter again came up
before this Court which culminated in rendition of
Ext.P11 judgment dated 21.11.2018. This Court O.P.(C)No.848/2021
directed the court below to decide the issue after
considering the objection raised by the judgment
debtor.
4. The grievance expressed by the petitioner
is to the effect that even after Ext.P11 judgment
passed by this Court, the petitioner was not given
sufficient opportunity and Ext.P14 order was
passed without application of mind. It is
submitted that the certified copy of Ext.P14 order
is yet to be delivered.
5. I heard the learned counsel for the
respondent as well.
6. Looking at Ext.P14 order, I do not find
that the court below passed a considered order.
The objections raised by the petitioner were not
specifically dealt with therein.
7. The learned counsel for the petitioner
submitted that the court below may be directed to
take up the issue as to identity of property in
accordance with law and decide the matter afresh
after giving parties sufficient opportunity.
8. The learned counsel for the respondent
insisted that a time frame may be fixed so that
the matter may not be further delayed at all. O.P.(C)No.848/2021
9. After hearing the submissions made on
behalf of the parties, I am of the opinion that
Ext.P14 order has to be set aside and the court
below is to be called upon to decide the issue on
hand considering the objections raised by the
petitioner in Ext.P12 after hearing parties and in
accordance with law.
In the result, original petition is disposed
of in the above terms. It is directed that the
court below shall put in all sincere efforts to
dispose of the execution petition on or before
25.05.2021.
All pending interlocutory applications will
stand closed.
