IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No.3093 of 2008 Date of Decision:- 27.05.2008 Harbans Singh ....Petitioner(s) through Mr.Kulbir Sekhon, Advocate vs. Balbir Kaur & ors. ....Respondent(s) *** CORAM:-HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. *** 1) Whether Reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2) To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3) Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? *** SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) The petitioner-a judgment-debtor, assails the order dated 12.4.2008 passed by the Executing Court whereby his objections have been dismissed and the attached property has been put to auction. A money suit filed on 8.9.1993 was decreed against the petitioner on 19.1.2000. The decree-holder is still making unsuccessful efforts to get the decree executed. In fact, during the execution proceedings, a compromise took place between the parties in terms whereof the petitioner-judgment debtor agreed to pay Rs.60,000/- “in full and final settlement within two months from the date of order i.e. 27.4.2002.” Admittedly, the above-stated amount has not been deposited. In these circumstances, what else could the decree-holder do except to get the attached properties of the petitioner auctioned through the Court process. This is what precisely has been done by the Executing Court. C.R. No.3093 of 2008 -2- As the facts would speak for themselves, no interference by this Court is called for; however, in order to test the petitioner's bonafide and to reduce the miseries of the decree-holder, this revision petition is disposed of with a direction that in case the petitioner deposits the agreed amount of Rs.60,000/- along with interest at the rate of 9% per annum with effect from 1.1.2002 on or before 30.6.2008 with the Executing Court by way of demand draft in the name of the decree-holder along with an application to keep the auction proceedings in abeyance, the learned Executing Court shall not confirm the auction, if any, held on 31.5.2008 and shall decide the said application in accordance with law.
