The respondent No.2/Decree holder is the second wife of the Judgment Debtor. When the respondent No.2 filed the execution petition, the Executing Court had - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010383202026 NC: 2026:KHC:56144 WP No. 22589 of 2026 ordered for attachment of house property, which is the matrimonial home of the petitioner and she is residing in the said property. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that when the petitioner moved an application as an objector before the Executing Court, the Executing Court refused to entertain it. Hence, having no other go, the petitioner has come before this Court. 4. On the last occasion, this Court directed the petitioner to take out hand summons on the counsel appearing for the respondents before the Family Court. It is submitted that the petitioner has served notice on the counsel appearing for the respondents, and a memo is filed. Despite the service of notice, no vakalath is filed on behalf of the respondents. 5. This Court cannot pass any order in this petition while the execution petition is pending before the Court. The remedy of the petitioner is to approach the executing Court by filing an appropriate application.
