JUDGMENT
A. Muhamed Mustaque, J
The petitioner is the judgment debtor based on a
compromise decree. The petitioner approached this Court
alleging that in execution proceedings, an arrest warrant has
been issued against him. According to the petitioner,
compromise decree consists of performance of promises and
reciprocal promises and the petitioner in the execution petition
failed to honor the promise made by her. It is submitted that
when there is mutually agreed terms based on promises and
reciprocal promises, one cannot seek the performance of one
promise without there being a reciprocity of the terms and
conditions. The petitioner appears to have moved the Family
Court by Ext.P4 to set aside the compromise decree alleging
breach of compromise and on other grounds as urged in the
petition. The petitioner also moved the Execution Court to stay
the execution proceedings and recall the warrant. OP (FC) NO. 26 OF 2022
2. The petitioner approached this Court seeking a
direction to consider his application filed in execution petition to
recall the warrant.
3. The petitioner has every right to resist the execution
on any valid ground available to him. It is submitted that the
warrant has been issued for non payment of Rs.3,00,000/-
(Rupees Three Lakh only) as agreed in the compromise. We
cannot order to defer the execution of the warrant against the
petitioner. However, we are also of the view that the Execution
Court shall consider the resistance of the execution petition on
any valid ground available to him. In the interest of justice, we
direct the petitioner to deposit Rs.3,00,000/-(Rupees Three Lakh
only) within a period of one month. The objection to the
execution proceedings shall be taken up and appropriate orders
shall be passed by the Court. The amount so deposited shall not
be released to the respondents till the objection on execution is
heard and considered by the Execution Court. In order to enable OP (FC) NO. 26 OF 2022
the petitioner to deposit the amount as above, the execution of
the warrant be kept in abeyance.
This original petition is disposed of as above.
