ORDER
1. Case taken up. Learned Counsel for both side are present.
2. Some Miscellaneous Application(s) is being said to have been moved by Respondent in the Office, but, the same is not listed for hearing on today. This application is with a prayer for recall of order, dated 24.08.2026, and it is on the ground that decree holder himself has moved an application before Hon’ble Apex Court, in a contempt proceeding, pending before Hon’ble Apex Court, with a prayer for release, having the mention of the decree in question in present proceeding, and Civil Appeal preferred by JD before Hon’ble Apex Court, wherein, Hon’ble Apex Court has taken cognizance and interruption application has been accepted to be heard on 03.11.2026. Hence, for same relief, i.e., execution of present decree, in present proceeding, is prayed before Hon’ble Apex Court, in above proceeding. Hence, the above fact was required to be mentioned before this executing Court, before, above impugned order was got passed upon application of decree holder without giving opportunity to JD, for making reply in regard to above fact. Hence, the application moved by JD and pending in Office, is to be heard before ensuring compliance of impugned order.
3. Court interrupted with above request as to when, the decree is under execution in this proceeding, and at every date, JD is making request that owing to attachment made by Hon’ble Apex Court, of the assets of JD, the ability to make the decree fulfill is not there. More so, an appeal has been filed, wherein, a condition of deposit of the 50 per cent of the amount of decree, for getting Stay Order, could not be fulfilled by JD. Hence, an application with a request to release that much amount from the attached property of JD, for getting it deposited, for getting stay against impugned decree, had been made and time is being taken, for ensuring the compliance of same. But, admittedly by now there is no stay in the execution proceeding before this Tribunal. Hence, as a settled principle that 'executing Court is a best friend of decree holder' and is to ensure the execution of decree, for ensuring the availability of its fruit by decree holder. This Tribunal had co-operated at each date and had given time. But, neither any stay order got filed, nor decree got complied with. Hence, vide impugned order, a direction was there for ensuring the presence of E xecutive Director, named in above order, to be present on today, before this Tribunal, for making its stand clear and placing all its version with regard to execution of decree in question. Hence, this direction was not got complied with. Rather, this Miscellaneous Application is being said to have been moved. Hence, in every Judicial propriety, the JD is to be present and place its version with regard to non-action in execution of a decree, being executed against it and for this direction, presence has been directed to be here. Hence, Learned Counsel for JD made a request for fixing a date after three days, for presence of above Executive Director for placing the whole thing before this Tribunal, compelling for non execution, though there is every intend for execution for decree. But, the impediment is of legal one i.e., attachment by Hon'ble Apex Court.
4. Under above pretext, fixed 16.10.2026 “for further disposal”.
5. Office is being directed to list those said Miscellaneous Application(s) positively on above date. Copy is being said to have been given. Hence, counter and rejoinder, if any, after exchange in between, may be got filed, on record.
