(Oral): The petitioner obtained a decree in RFA No.1276 of 1985 on 30.04.1987. The decree was put to execution on 06.01.2001. The respondent-State of Punjab through Collector, Land Acquisition-Judgment Debtor raised an objection regarding the limitation. The Executing Court vide the impugned order, dismissed the execution petition being barred by limitation. It has been held that the period of limitation for execution of the decree as prescribed in Article 136 of the Limitation Act is 12 years which period has already expired. Thus, the execution petition for the execution of the decree is barred by time. The petitioner has, however, in the present revision petition pleaded that part payment of the award having been made on 03.01.2000 vide the cheque, the limitation would commence from the date of last payment. However, it has been held that there was no condition in the decree for making payment in instalments and, thus, the limitation starts from the date of decree and not from the date of last payment. CR No.393 of 2004 -2- I have considered the judgment impugned. The findings of the executing Court seems to be in accordance with law. The period of limitation commence from the date of decree as prescribed under Article 136 of the Limitation Act, particularly when the decree do not prescribe for payment of the amount in instalments. The findings rendered by the executing Court do not require any interference. Petition dismissed. 16.08.2010 (PERMOD KOHLI) BLS JUDGE
