                                JUDGMENT

This revision petition is preferred against the order of

the Munsiff, Muvattupuzha in E.P.No.161/06 in O.S.No.243/96.

2. The suit was one for specific performance of a

contract and the court decreed the suit directing the

defendants to execute a document with respect to B scheduled

property on receipt of a consideration of Rs.45,713/- and in

case of default, to approach the court for getting the document

executed through court. The defendants did not execute the

document and therefore, the plaintiffs have come up with an

application for execution of the document.

3. In the said execution petition, the respondents

had filed a counter affidavit stating that the way of plaint ‘A’

schedule property cannot be used for traffic due to blasting of

rocks and it must be put back to the original position.

Otherwise, it will cause irreparable injury to the judgment

debtors. The Executing Court negatived the objection and

directed the decree holder to complete the steps before

C.R.P. No.323 2007

proceeding further in the matter. It is against that, the present

revision petition is filed.

3. The executability of the decree is only with

respect to the contents that is seen in the decree as found in

the judgment and therefore, the court is only expected to

carry out the directions in the decree at the execution stage.

4. Here, the decree only mandates for execution

of the document on receipt of balance consideration and in

the event of failure, to execute the document through court.

That is the only point to be considered and decided by the

court and any other objection extraneous to the decree need

not be and shall not be considered by the Executing Court.

5. Therefore, the Executing Court was perfectly

justified in directing the decree holder to take steps and to

proceed further.

Therefore, the Civil Revision Petition lacks merit

and it is dismissed.
