He filed O.S.No.31 of 2007 in the Court of IX Additional District and Sessions Judge, Krishna at Machilipatnam for specific performance of contract based on agreement of sale dated 23.05.2005. The suit was decreed on 28.06.2014 in the following terms:
“The suit is hereby decreed with costs by granting specific performance of contract on agreement of sale dated 23.05.2005 by directing the plaintiff to deposit balance sale consideration of Rs.7,00,000/- on or before 15 (fifteen) days from this date. On such deposit the defendants 1 and 2 are directed to execute a registered sale deed in favour of the plaintiff in respect of suit schedule property within two months; ii) that if the defendants fall to execute the registered sale deed the plaintiff is at liberty to proceed according to law; iii) that the defendants do pay to the plaintiff a sum of Rs.1,06,658/- (rupees one lakh six thousand six hundred and fifty eight only) towards costs of the suit and do bear their own costs of Rs.13,112/- (rupees thirteen thousand one hundred and twelve only).”

judgment and decree dated 10.11.2023 in the following terms:
“68. As a result,
(a) The Appeal is allowed in part.

6. The defendants filed SLP(C).No. 7956 of 2024 in which the Hon’ble Apex Court passed the following order dated 03.12.2024:
“ORDER We are not inclined to interfere with the impugned judgment. However, taking into consideration the date of the agreement and the time that it has taken, we direct the respondent to pay an additional sum of Rs.25 lakh over and above the amount as per the decree awarded by the High Court. The amount will have to be paid within period of 12 weeks from today. The special Leave Petition is accordingly disposed of.”
7. The D.Hr. filed Exection Petition No.4 of 2024, inter-alia submitting that he deposited the amount, pursuant to the Trial Court decree as modified by the appellate Court and also as directed by the Hon’ble Apex Court, giving the details of the deposit as per the table as under: Sl.No. Date Court Amount Rs.
1. 11-07-2014 9th Additional District Judge’s Court 7,00,000/-
2. 04-01-2024 As per the Hon’ble High Court orders 15,10,266/-
3. 10-02-2025 As per the Hon’ble Supreme Court orders 25,00,000/-
Total 47,10,266/-
8. The J.Drs., filed objections, mainly that, the deposit pursuant to the decree as modified in A.S.No.468 of 2014 was not full but deficit. According to the J.Drs., as per the modified appellate decree, the D.Hr., ought to have deposited Rs.31,02,247/-.
9. The Execution Court has rejected the objection of the petitioner by an
order dated 04.09.2025.
10. Challenging the order dated 04.09.2025, the present Civil Revision Petition under Section 115 of Code of Civil Procedure has been filed.
11. Sri P.Rajasekhar, learned counsel for the petitioner does not dispute about the deposit of the balance of the sale consideration of Rs.7,00,000/- in terms of the Trial Court decree on 30.07.2014 before the Trial Court.
12. He also does not dispute the deposit of Rs.25,00,000/- made by the D.Hr., pursuant to the order of the Hon’ble Apex Court.
13. He, however submits that the dispute is for the interest in terms of the modified appellate decree which in his submission comes to Rs.31,02,247/-, whereas the D.Hr., deposited only Rs.15,10,266/-.
14. A perusal of the appellate decree in clause (b) as quoted above clearly shows that the D.Hr., was directed to deposit the balance sale consideration
of Rs.7,00,000/- along with the interest @ 24% per annum from 22.07.2005 till the date of deposit of such amount in the Court within two months from the date of judgment.
15. There is no dispute raised that the amount of interest on balance of sale
consideration of Rs.7,00,000/- with effect from 22.07.2005 till 13.07.2014 (on which date the balance of Rs.7,00,000/- was deposited) comes to Rs.15,10,266/-. The same amount was deposited as is evident from Sl.No.2 in the table (supra).
16. The contention raised is that such amount of interest should have been calculated upto the date of deposit of interest i.e., 04.01.2024. This Court is not satisfied with the said submission. The interest was directed to be deposited on the balance amount from 22.07.2005 till the date of such deposit. The date of such deposit is the date of deposit of balance of sale
consideration, which deposit was made on 13.07.2014, upto which interest has been deposited.
17. The view taken by the learned Execution Court is perfectly correct.
18. This Court does not find any illegality in the order of the learned Execution Court. The objection has rightly been rejected.
19. The Civil Revision Petition is without force and is dismissed.
No order as to costs.
As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, shall also stand closed. ____________________ RAVI NATH TILHARI, J
