ORAL ORDER
1. In this writ petition filed under Article 227 of Constitution of India, the petitioner is challenging the
order dated 09.10.2025 passed by XLI Additional City Civil & Sessions Judge, Bangalore, in Execution Petition No.2473/2016, whereby, I.A. filed by the petitioner under
Order XXI Rule 35(3) read with Section 151 of CPC, seeking possession has been dismissed.
2. Petitioner-plaintiff filed a suit in O.S.No.1155/2008 for bare injunction. The said suit came to be decreed vide
judgment and decree dated 03.01.2014. The relevant portion of the said decree reads as under:
“It is ordered and decreed that the defendants 1 and 2, their agent, servants, nominees and any other person claming under them are permanently restrained from interfering with the plaintiff’s peaceful possession and enjoyment of the suit schedule property within the boundaries mentioned in the sale deed at Ex.P1.”

3. A perusal of the decree makes it clear that the relief granted is one of permanent prohibitory injunction and not a decree for possession or mandatory injunction. Order XXI Rule 35(3) of the CPC, which provides for delivery of immovable property in execution of a decree for possession, is therefore not attracted to the facts of the present case. In that view of the matter, the Executing Court has rightly rejected the application filed by the petitioner.
4. Viewed from any angle, the impugned order does not suffer from any jurisdictional error, illegality, or perversity warranting interference under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.
5. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed.
