It is clear that on 10th April 2006 an order was passed in Chamber Summons No. 444 of 2006 when the learned counsel appearing for the defendant made a statement that during the pendency of the Chamber Summons, they would not proceed further in the : 2 : matter. Perusal of the prayers in the Chamber Summons shows that prayer is made for lifting of the attachment and for stay of the further attachment and execution. Despite the statement made, attachment was levied. According to the Respondent attachment was levied by them under the bonafide belief that they had liberty to do so. The said explanation is not acceptable. However now the decree itself has been set aside and the defendant is ready to pay the cost to the petitioner in my opinion following order would meet the ends of justice. ORDER .
