~~~~~~~

This revision petition is preferred against the order of the IInd

Additional Munsiff, Thrissur in E.P.No.19/2007 in O.S.No.1240/2005.

The execution petition is for realisation of the decree amount and

PW1 deposed that the judgment debtor has got a car and is deriving

a monthly income of Rs.5,000/-. There was a suggestion made to the

decree holder that the car has been sold in the year 2001. But the

court made it clear that no materials are furnished by the judgment

debtor. So far as the immovable property is concerned, the court

held that there is evidence to show that the immovable property has

been transferred. Therefore, the court accepted the testimony of

the decree holder and ordered issuance of warrant.

2. The learned counsel has produced a copy of the

document to evidence that the car has been sold in 2004. I am not

inclined to accept that document at this stage for the reason that

there was lot of opportunities for the judgment debtor to produce

those documents at the relevant time. Applying the principles of

reception of additional documents under Order XLI Rule 27 of Code

of Civil Procedure, I feel this is not a case where this can be

accepted at this stage. I am also informed that though the decree

C.R.P.No.150/2008 2

provided for six months time, the execution petition has been

filed before six months and therefore, it is also a defect. But

much water has flown thereafter and now I do not want to

dismiss the execution petition on a technical ground, but at the

same time I think indulgence can be shown to the judgment

debtor with a direction to pay the amount due in some

installments. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of as

follows:

i) The revision petitioner is directed to pay the amount

due in six monthly equal installments commencing from

26.3.2008.

ii) If he commits default on the first installment or

thereafter two consecutive installments, the benefit conferred on

him shall be forfeited and the decree holder can request the

court to issue fresh arrest warrant for realisation of the amount.

In the light of this order, the court below is directed not to

execute the warrant of arrest for the time being.

(M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE)
