Decided On October 09, 2014
SATISH KUMAR Appellant
V/S
JAGDISH CHANDER Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) EX -parte decree dated 22.4.2003 is pending execution against the JD, petitioner herein where orders are sought against him to hand over vacant possession of the suit property in favour of the decree -holder, respondent herein. Even though the decree under execution is ex -parte against the petitioner -JD but it remains a fact that the JD had been appearing in the said suit throughout and it was at the stage of evidence of the decree -holder/plaintiff that the petitioner -JD was proceeded against ex -parte on 2.9.2002 and never appeared thereafter.

(2.) THE petitioner -JD had then filed an application for setting aside the ex -parte order dated 2.9.2002 against him as well as for setting aside the ex -parte judgment and decree dated 22.4.2003. The said application was dismissed on 24.8.2007 by the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Yamuna Nagar at Jagadhri. Appeal preferred against the said order of 24.8.2007 was also dismissed on 9.1.2009 by the Additional District Judge, Yamuna Nagar at Jagadhri. Order of dismissal of application for setting aside the ex -parte proceedings and ex -parte decree thereafter became final giving finality to the judgment and decree dated 22.4.2003 as well. The objection petition preferred by the JD in execution of the decree dated 22.4.2003 had made elaborate reference to another judgment and decree dated 8.3.1991. The Executing Court has rightly ignored such objections as the decree under execution is of 22.4.2003 and not of 8.3.1991. Relevant observations made by the Executing Court are reproduced as below:

(3.) KEEPING in view the totality of facts and circumstances, no ground is made out to interfere with the well -written impugned order dated 5.9.2014. Affirming the same, this petition being without any merit, is dismissed.
