The learned Senior Civil Judge, Court No.2,Shimla H.P. vide its judgment and decree dated 08.04.2024, dismissed the suit for specific performance of agreement. However, J.Ds/defendants were directed to return the consideration amount of Rs. 59,00,956/- along with interest @ 6% per annum from the date of such payment to the plaintiff within two months from date of pronouncement of the judgment passed by the learned trial Court and in default, the plaintiff was held entitled to recover the amount of Rs. 59,00,956/- alonwith interest @ 6% per annum from the date of such payment till realization of whole of the amount from the defendants jointly and severally. 3
5. The judgment and decree was passed by the learned Senior Civil Judge, Court No.2, Shimla on 08.04.2024. Admittedly, the said judgment and decree have attained its finality and J.Ds/petitioners have not assailed the said findings before any competent Court of law. 6. The Decree Holder preferred the execution petition by filing an application under Order 21 Rule 11 of C.P.C for the execution of the judgment as passed by the learned trial Court on 08.04.2024. The learned Executing Court vide its order dated 18.07.2025 has allowed the application filed by the decree holder and consequently, warrant of attachment of immovable property of the Judgment debtors was issued on taking steps within 15 days. 7.
Feeling aggrieved the J.D/petitioner has preferred the present petition against the order as passed by Executing Court dated 18.07.2025. 8. It is contended by Mr. Jagat Pal, Advocate that the impugned order as passed by the learned Executing Court is erroneous and not sustainable in the eyes of law. He further submits that since the Judgment Debtors have already preferred an application under Order 9 Rule 13 C.P.C before the very same Court for setting-side ex-parte decree, therefore, no coercive
4 steps/order could have been passed by the learned Executing Court. 9. The perusal of the case file reveals that admittedly ex-parte judgment and decree has been passed by the learned Senior Civil Judge, Court No.2, Shimla on 08.04.2024. In the said suit, the learned Senior Civil Judge, Court No.2 Shimla has passed a decree for consideration amount of Rs.59,00,956/- alongwith interest @ 6% per annum from the date of such payment to the plaintiff within two months from the date of passing of the judgment . 10. The execution petition has been filed but admittedly, the record reveals that no objection was raised by the Judgment debtors/petitioners. The learned Executing Court has rightly passed the impugned order, which does not call for any interference. The order as passed by the learned Executing Court is legal, valid and sustainable in the eyes of law and does not call for any interference. 11. At this stage, Mr. Jagat Pal, Advocate submits that direction may be issued to the learned Civil Judge, Court No.2, Shimla to decide the application, which has been filed by the
Judgment Debtors/petitioners under order 9 Rule 13 of C.P.C. He
5 further submits that the next date of the said case has been fixed by the learned trial Court on 06.07.2026.
12. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that a direction be issued to the learned Civil Judge, Court No. 2, Shimla to decide the said application. The learned Court below to proceed in the matter in accordance with law without influenced by any observation made by this Court.
13. Consequently, the present petition being devoid of any merit, deserves to be dismissed and is accordingly dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed off.
