TO JUDGE. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.8981 of 2008 ------------------------------- Dated this the 10th June, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioners are the petitioners/defendants in I.A.No.4019/2001, a petition to set aside the final decree. This petition is filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India to quash Ext.P2 order passed by the Executing Court and also for a direction to Sub court, Thiruvananthapuram, to consider and dispose I.A.Nos.4019/2001, 940/06, 5017/07 and 5018/07 before proceeding with the Execution Petition. Ext.P2 order is challenged on the ground that that order was passed without considering Ext.P3 objection filed to the execution petition. 2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners was heard. Ext.P2 order shows that no objection was filed, and, therefore, the Execution Petition was posted for further steps. Ext.P3 is the objection filed by the 3rd judgment debtor to the execution petition filed in 2001. On going through Ext.P3, I do not find any valid contention so as to interfere with Ext.P2 order. What is stated in W.P.(C) No.8981/2008 2 Ext.P3 is that the statement in the execution petition that there is no appeal is not correct, as A.S.No.356/1982 was filed, though it was dismissed later confirming the decree. The other reason stated is that against the judgment in A.S.No.356/1982, a special leave petition is pending before the Apex Court. The learned counsel was fair enough to submit that that petition was also subsequently dismissed. Yet another reason stated is that petition to set aside the final decree is pending. On these grounds, there is no necessity to interfere with Ext.P2 order. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioners pointed out that petitions to set aside the final decree, as well as other petitions referred to in the writ petition are pending, and, therefore, there may be a direction to the Executing Court to dispose those petitions expeditiously. It was also submitted that execution petition shall not be allowed to proceed before disposal of those petitions. 4. Considering the fact that final decree was confirmed by this Court, and even the special leave petition was dismissed by the Supreme Court, I do not find that petitioners are entitled to contend that Execution Petition is to be stayed, till the disposal of the petition W.P.(C) No.8981/2008 3 to set aside final decree. In such circumstances, that prayer cannot be granted. The writ petition is disposed of with a direction to Sub Court, Thiruvananthapuram, to dispose I.A.Nos. 4019/2001, 940/06, 5017/07 and 5018/07 as expeditiously as possible.
