Bombay High Court
AGASTI SARVA SEVA SANGH AKOLE THROUGH ITS MANAGERversusGOTIRAM MAHARU RATHOD AND OTHERS
- Disposal
- DISPOSED OFF
Holding
The execution petition was dismissed because the decree holder did not comply with the direction to be present at the time of execution.
Summary
The petitioner, Agasti Sarva Seva Sangh Akole, challenged the order of the Civil Judge, Junior Division, Chalisgaon, which rejected its application for a Jangam warrant against the judgment debtor and dismissed the execution proceedings. The lower court had directed the decree holder to be present at the execution site, but the decree holder failed to comply with this direction. The High Court examined the record and found that the non‑appearance of the decree holder justified the dismissal of the execution petition. Consequently, the Court held that there was no ground to interfere with the lower court’s order under Article 227 of the Constitution. The petition was therefore dismissed without any order as to costs.

- Whether the execution petition should be dismissed for the decree holder's failure to be present as directed

Advocate for the Petitioner : Mr. A. R. Joshi & Mr. V. P. Golewar

CORAM : SIDDHESHWAR S. THOMBRE, J.
DATE : 18.03.2026
PER COURT :
1. Heard learned Advocate for the Petitioner.
2. By the present petition, the Petitioner assails the order dated
07.11.2015 passed below Exhibit-31 in Regular Darkhast No.17 of 2007
by the learned Civil Judge, Junior Division, Chalisgaon, whereby the
application for issuance of Jangam warrant against Respondent No.1–
Judgment Debtor No.1 came to be rejected and the execution
proceedings were dismissed without there being any satisfaction of the
decree in favour of the Petitioner.
3. I have perused the order passed by the learned Executing Court.
The record reveals that specific directions were issued to the decree
holder to remain present at the spot at the time of execution of the
Jangam warrant. Despite such directions, the decree holder failed to
comply. Therefore, I am of the view that, the learned Executing Court has
Dilwale 2 24-WP-1596-16.odt
rightly dismissed the execution petition and I do not find any reason to
interfere with the order dated 07.11.2015 passed below Exhibit-31 in
Regular Darkhast No.17 of 2007 by the learned Civil Judge, Junior
Division, Chalisgaon under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.
4. In view thereof, the petition is dismissed. No order as to costs.
