However, Order XXXIII Rule 10 C.P.C.<\/p>\n<p>makes it mandatory for the court to pass order as to who should pay the<\/p>\n<p>court fee in a suit filed by a person as an indigent person. In this case the<\/p>\n<p>court has passed decree entitling the petitioner to recover the court fee along<\/p>\n<p>with other costs.    Consequently it implies that petitioner is liable to pay<\/p>\n<p>court fee after recovering it from the defendant. However, at the time of<\/p>\n<p>filing W.P. in 2005, petitioner has stated that E.P. was being filed.                    The<\/p>\n<p>W.P. is therefore disposed of directing the execution court to recover court<\/p>\n<p>fee in execution proceedings and authorise remittance to the second<\/p>\n<p>respondent and release the balance to the petitioner i.e. the decree holder.<\/p>\n<p>However, if amount could not be recovered, then the court will have to<\/p>\n<p>decide whether petitioner is incidentally liable to pay court fee under Order<\/p>\n<p>XXXIII Rule 10. The execution court is directed to pass final orders within<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>a period of six months from now.
