W.P.(C) No.8477 of 2006 .................................................................... Dated this the 7th day of August, 2007. JUDGMENT The petitioner-Bank approached this court challenging the interim orders in an Execution Application. The case of the Bank is that the mortgaged property was subject matter of suit and execution proceeding is among the debtors and other persons without Bank being in the party array. Since DRT has passed decree in favour of the Bank based on mortgage, this court granted stay against interim orders of the execution court and property is stated to be sold by the Recovery Officer based on sale certificate issued by the DRT. Since the E.P. is still pending, I feel the execution court can decide the claim of the Bank in the course of disposal of execution petition. The petitioner in the Execution Petition will file an impleading petition to implead the petitioner-Bank and there will be direction to the Execution Court to hear the Bank and dispose of the Execution Petition within three months from date of production of copy of this judgment by any party. W.P. is disposed of as above. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
