No.297/2012 filed by the auction purchaser, on the file of the III Additional Civil Judge and JMFC, Bhadravathi.

HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:33488 RSA No. 258 of 2026
The execution petition is hereby closed as fully satisfied.”
6. Being aggrieved by the same, Appellant herein filed an appeal before the First Appellate Court in R.A No.73/2022 on the file of the Prl. Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Bhadravathi.
7. Learned Judge in the First Appellate Court, after securing the records, heard the arguments of the parties and noted that no prejudice has been caused to the appellant herein as she failed to make out independent right to object the decree and thus dismissed the appeal.
8. Being further aggrieved by the same, appellant is before this Court.
9. Sri Manjunath,
learned counsel for the appellant reiterating the grounds urged in the appeal memorandum would contend that there is no title in favour of the Judgment debtor who could not evict the appellant from the premises and therefore they colluded with the Decree Holder. 10. He also argued that the Decree Holder purchased the suit property in the Court auction and as such, the appellant who is

in possession of the property for more than 50 years is affected by the Order passed in the Execution Petition and thus sought for admitting the appeal on the following substantial questions of law. (i) Whether the 1st appellate court was justified in not considering oral as well as the documentary evidence produced by the appellant before the execution court as an objector? (ii) Whether the 1st appellate court was justified in dismissing the appeal filed by the appellant when the impugned judgment and decree passed by 1st appellate court does not disturb the remaining operative portion of the order passed in Execution Petition No.297/2012 dated 24.08.2022? (iii) Whether the 1st appellate court was justified in not considering the dismissal of HRC Case No.11/2010 directing the petitioners in HRC Case No.11/2010 filed by the judgment debtors against the appellant to approach the civil court to prove their title?”
11. On hearing the learned counsel for appellant, this Court perused the material on record meticulously. - 6 -
HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:33488 RSA No. 258 of 2026
12. On such perusal of the material on record, it is noticed that there is no independent right that has been established by the appellant herein to oppose the decree. 13. Further, if the appellant is in possession of the property, she has not been affected by the order passed by the Executing Court referred to supra. 14. All that the Executing Court has directed while rejecting the application is to implead the decree holder in the pending matter and evict the appellant in accordance with law. 15. Thus, no rights of the appellant has been affected by passing the impound order by the Executing Court confirmed by the First Appellate Court. 16.
In the absence of any independent right made out by the appellant except holding onto the possession of the suit property, that too without any title being there in the appellant, this Court does not find merit in any one of the substantial questions of law raised in the appeal memorandum. - 7 -
