XX Rule 12A CPC shows that in every decree of specific performance of a contract, the court has to specify the period within which the payment has to be made. In the present case, the said period was two months from the date of the decree. 10. In absence of the said time being extended, the decree-holder could execute the decree only by making the payment of the decretal amount to the judgment-debtor or making the deposit in the court in terms of the said decree. In the present case, [2025:RJ-JP:44410] (6 of 16) [CR-235/2025] neither the said deposit was made within the stipulated time nor extension of time was sought or granted and also no explanation has been furnished for the delay in the making of the deposit. No doubt, as contended by the learned counsel for the decree- holders, relying on the judgment of this Court in Ramankutty Guptan v. Avara, AIR 1994 SC 1699, (1994) 2 SCC 642, in an appropriate case the court which passed the decree could extend the time as envisaged in the Specific Relief Act, 1963. In the present case no such steps have been taken by the decree-holders. 11. In the above circumstances, the contention advanced on behalf of the decree-holders, respondents herein, that unless the judgment-debtor seeks rescission of the contract in terms of Section 28 of the Specific Relief Act, the decree remains executable in spite of expiry of the period for deposit, with the only obligation on the part of the decree- holders to pay interest, cannot be accepted." fu.khZr _.kh dh vksj ls izLrqr vU; fu.kZ; Bhupinder Kumar Vs.

It is clear that Section 28 gives power to the court either to extend the time for compliance of the decree or grant order of rescission of the agreement. These powers are available to the Trial Court which passes decree of specific performance. In other words, when the court passes the decree for specific performance, the contract between the parties is not extinguished. To put it clear that the decree for specific performance is in the nature of preliminary decree and the suit is deemed to be pending even after the decree." fo}ku vf/koDrk fu.khZr _.kh&;kph dk ,d vU; fuosnu ;g Hkh gS fd fofufnZ"V vuqikyuk ds okn esa ikfjr fMØh izkjafHkd fMØh gS rFkk ^^vf/kfu;e&1963** dh /kkjk 28¼1½ dk vkosnu mlh U;k;ky; ls o mlh okn esa izLrqr fd;k tk ldrk gS] ftlesa fu.kZ; ikfjr fd;k x;k gS rFkk ;g vkosnu okn dh fujarjrk esa ekuk tk;sxkA bl laca/k esa izLrqr U;kf;d n`"Vkar Ramankutty Guptan Vs.

The question then emerges is whether it should be on the original side or execution side. Section indicates that it should be "in the same suit". It would obviously mean in the suit itself and not in the execution proceedings. It is equally settled law that after passing the decree for specific performance, the Court does not cease to have any jurisdiction. The court retains control over the decree even after the decree has been passed. It was open to the court to exercise the power under Section 28(1) of the Act either for extension of time or for rescinding the contract as claimed for. Since the execution application has been filed in the same court in which the original suit was filed, namely, the court of first instance, instead of treating the application on the execution side, it should have as well been numbered as an interlocutory application on the original side and disposed of according to law. In this view, we feel that the judgment of the Bombay High Court laid down the law correctly and that of the Andhra Pradesh High Court is not correct. The High Court, therefore, is not right in dismissing the application treating it to be on execution side, instead of transferring it on the original side for dealing with it according to law." fu.khZr _.kh dh vksj ls izLrqr vU; U;kf;d n`"Vkar V.

The contention of the learned counsel for the appellant(s) that there was no proper prayer for condonation of delay in making the deposit of the balance consideration, or that there was no proper application for extension of time to make deposit, is unworthy of acceptance. Because, in the execution application itself, which was promptly filed after expiry of 60 days from the date of the appellate court decree, the decree holder had sought permission to make deposit. Not only that, the application filed after dismissal of second appeal also sought permission to make deposit. The prayer to extend the time to make deposit was therefore implicit in the prayer to permit the decree holder to make deposit of the balance consideration. In this view of the matter, we reject the submission of the appellants that as there was no proper application for extension of time to make deposit, the Court held no jurisdiction to extend the same." fo}ku vf/koDrk fMØhnkj dk ;g Hkh fuosnu gS fd orZeku ekeys esa cdk;k cSad _.k dh lVhd tkudkjh fu.khZr _.kh dks Fkh] ;g jkf'k rFkk cdk;k jkf'k izkIr djus gsrq fu.khZr _.kh dks uksfVl Hkh tkjh fd;k x;k] ijarq budkj dj fn;k x;k vkSj bl dkj.k U;k;ky; esa fu"iknu izdj.k izLrqr djuk iM+kA okLro esa fu.khZr _.kh gh fMØh dh ikyuk gsrq rRij ugha gqvk gS] vr% ,slh fLFkfr esa ^^vf/kfu;e&1963** dh /kkjk 28 dk ykHk fu.khZr _.kh izkIr djus dk vf/kdkjh ugha gSA vius rdksZa ds leFkZu esa U;kf;d fu.kZ; Khoobiram Vs.

Instead, the obligation was imposed upon the defendant/petitioner to receive the balance consideration from plaintiffs in pursuance of the agreement dated 28-11-1990 and to execute the registered sale-deed within a period of two months from the date of decree. There was no direction in the decree to the decree-holders to pay or deposit the balance consideration within a period of two months. It was for the judgment-debtor/petitioner to receive the balance consideration and execute the sale deed within a period of two months from the date of decree. Obligation so imposed on judgment- debtor/petitioner ought to have been discharged by him which could have been performed by issuing a notice by him to the decree-holders requiring the latter to pay the balance consideration within two months or to move a necessary application before the Executing Court within a period of two months seeking direction thereby to decree-holders to make the payment of balance consideration within the period prescribed in the decree. In none of the clauses of the decree any condition is imposed on the decree-holders to make the payment of consideration within a particular or stipulated period. Decree under execution is couched and worded in a specific manner which obliges the judgment-debtor/petitioner to receive balance consideration and execute the registered sale-deed within a period of two months from the date of decree. There is no specific direction in the decree to the decree-holders to pay or deposit the balance consideration within a period of two months or in a particular period. Decree-holders could have been accused only if the judgment- debtor/petitioner would have within a period of two months from the date of decree as per the direction contained in the decree applied in the Executing Court or would have issued a notice to the decree- holder to make the payment. This having not been done, decree-holders cannot be stated to have committed any default within the meaning of section 28.
