IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 572 OF 2007 STATE OF GOA THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY AND ANR., ... Petitioners Versus CHARLES PAIS ... Respondent Mr. G. Shirodkar, Addl. Govt. Advocate for the Petitioners. Mr. P.S. Rao, Advocate for the Respondent. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 18th September, 2008 P.C.: Heard learned Counsel on behalf of both the parties. Challenge in this petition is to the order dated 22/03/2007. 3. The respondent/decree holder sought the execution of the decree dated 31/07/1998 by which the respondent, as decree holder, sought the removal of pipes laid by the petitioners/judgment debtors in the decree holders' property bearing survey no. 97/22 and 23 of Sanvordem village. The petitioners have filed the petition stating that the said property has since been acquired by virtue of notification issued under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act dated 24/05/2006 and award dated 4/04/2008 has also been made and possession of the said portion has also been taken by the petitioners on 29/07/2008. It is therefore obvious that the decree obtained by the respondent has become unexecutable by virtue of the acquisition by the petitioners. Consequently, the petition deserves to succeed and the order dated 22/03/2007 is hereby set aside and, as a result, the execution application shall stand dismissed with no order as to costs. N. A. BRITTO, J. NH
