Learned Executing Court is directed to dispose of execution case within the period of six months from the date of the order and in any event if the Executing Court comprehends any difficulty in executing the order within the stipulated time, it will seek specific extension of time from this Court. Civil Miscellaneous Petition is, accordingly, allowed. Pending I.A., if any, stands disposed of. (Gautam Kumar Choudhary, J.) Pawan/ -
