K MUNISAMI CHETTI (DIED) Vs. CHENCHU NAIDU

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE only question in this appeal is whether an award under Rule 15 of the rules under Section 51 of the Co-operative Societies Act may, after it has been filed in the Civil Court for enforcement under Rule 15(7)(c) be executed on the application of an assignee from the person in whose favour the award was made. No authorities have been cited. THE rule itself says that the "Court shall enforce the award as if it was a decree of the Court". If it were a decree, an assignee could under Order 21, Rule 16 of the Civil P. C. apply for execution. I see no reason why this provision should not apply to a co-operative award which is enforceable as if it were a decree. THE appeal is dismissed with costs.
