By  this common order, I propose to dispose of the appeal as also  the petition  filed  by  the ppellant\/petitioner as against  the  order  dated 23.9.1996 passed by the Additional District Judge, Delhi, in Execution Case No.  49\/1995 arising out of Suit No.393\/1994. By the aforesaid  order,  the executing  court has dismissed three applications filed by  the  appellant. The said applications were under Order 9 Rule 13 CPC along with an application under <a href=\"\/doc\/100581\/\" id=\"a_1\">Section 5<\/a> of the Limitation Act and an application under Section<br \/>\n47 CPC.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">2.   The  aforesaid suit was filed by respondent No.1 herein seeking for  a decree  for  rendition  of accounts for Rs.76,000\/- only  against  all  the defendants including the appellant herein. It was alleged in the said  suit instituted  that  the respondent No.1, the plaintiff was a  member  of  the Delhi Stock Exchange Association Limited, New Delhi, holding two shares  of the  company  M\/s. Sikandar Lal &amp; co., but in February, 1983, he  sold  the said  shares to defendant No.3 for a consideration of Rs.90,000\/-  and  the aforesaid  amount was paid by defendant No.3 to defendant No.1 on  the  instructions of the plaintiff and which was accepted by defendant No.1 on the condition that he would do the accounting of the money between the  members of the aforesaid stock exchange with the written confirmation of the plaintiff and shall refund the balance to the plaintiff.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">3.   The  defendants  filed  their written statement.  Defendant  No.3  had admitted that he had purchased the aforesaid two shares for a consideration of rs.90,000\/- and he had paid the said amount to defendant No.1 who  alone was  liable  to render accounts to e plaintiff. In his  written  statement, defendant  No.1 admitted the receipt of rs.90,000\/-, but the defense  taken by him was that on oral instructions of the plaintiff he had paid a sum  of Rs.13,650\/-  and  another sum of Rs.73,500\/- to different persons.  it  was also   stated  that  besides,  defendant  No.1  was  entitled  to   receive<br \/>\nRs.50,000\/- from the plaintiff and after adjustment of these payments a sum of Rs.2,850\/- was due from the plaintiff to him.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">4.   On  the pleadings of the parties, issues were framed and evidence  was led  by  the plaintiff. The defendants were proceeded ex  parte.  Defendant No.1 also did not lead any evidence and arguments were addressed before the Trial Court on behalf of the plaintiff and defendant No.3.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">5.   A preliminary decree came to be passed in the suit on 23.8.1993 where by,  the suit of the plaintiff was dismissed against defendants No.2 to  4. In the said preliminary decree, it was held that defendant No.1 was holding the  money  on  behalf of the plaintiff which was to be  disbursed  to  the creditors  of the plaintiff which was not so disbursed and,  therefore,  it was held that defendant No.1 was liable to render accounts to the plaintiff in  the sum of rs.76,000\/- which according to the plaintiff was the  amount due  to  him from defendant no.1 on taking the accounts  and  which  amount<br \/>\ndefendant  No.1 was holding in trust for the plaintiff. While  passing  the aforesaid preliminary decree, the court appointed Shri J.K. Bhola, Advocate as  a  Local Commissioner to take accounts from defendant No.1 of  all  the dealings  and transaction between the plaintiff and defendant No.4  in  respect  of  the aforesaid amount of rs.90,000\/-. Pursuant to  the  aforesaid order, the Local Commissioner made necessary enquiries and took all  necessary  steps and submitted his report on 31.1.1994. It transpires  from  the said report filed by the Local commissioner that defendant No.1 in spite of opportunity failed to render the accounts of the plaintiff.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">6.   Taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances of the  case and  the  report of the Local Commissioner, the Additional  District  Judge passed a final decree in favour of the plaintiff and against defendant No.1 in  the sum of rs.76,000\/-. It was also ordered that defendant  No.1  would render the accounts of the plaintiff with regard to the aforesaid amount of Rs.76,000\/- and that the decree would be executable along with interest  at the  rate of 8% per annum from the date of the suit till  realisation.  The aforesaid final decree was passed on 7.8.1995.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">7.   Pursuant to the aforesaid final decree passed, the plaintiff filed  an execution  petition  which was registered as E.E.No.49\/1995.  In  the  said execution  petition, an application was filed by judgment debtor  No.1  who was  defendant  No.1 under Order 9 Rule 13 CPC along with  the  application under <a href=\"\/doc\/100581\/\" id=\"a_1\">Section 5<\/a> of the Limitation Act and also the objections under Section 47  CPC. All the aforesaid three applications were taken up for  consideration  and by order dated 23.9.1996, the said applications  were  dismissed. The  said applications including the objections under Section 47  CPC  were dismissed and warrants of attachment were directed to be issued against the appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">8.   It  was submitted by the counsel appearing for the appellant that  the order  passed  by  the executing court on all the  three  applications  are without  jurisdiction. He submitted that for the fault of the  counsel  for the appellant, the appellant should not have been allowed to suffer. it was stated that the appellant was unwell having suffered a heart attach k  and, therefore, he could not contact his counsel and as the counsel did not take any  steps, a final decree came to be passed exparte as against the  appellant. He also submitted that sufficient cause was made out by the appellant in  the application under <a href=\"\/doc\/100581\/\" id=\"a_2\">Section 5<\/a> of the Limitation Act and  in  ignoring the  said causes, the executing court has committed grave error of law.  It was  also submitted that defendant No. 1 was only a garnishee and,  he  was discharged  as  a garnishee in Execution Case No. 56\/1993  on  16.3.1993  &amp;<br \/>\nthere-fore, no order could have been passed against him.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">9.   I have considered the submissions of the learned counsel appearing for the  appellant as also the counsel appearing for respondent No.1,  who  was the plaintiff, decree holder.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">10.  The  ground  taken for setting aside the exparte decree was  that  the said  decree  was passed on fraud committed by the plaintiff. It  was  also stated that the appellant came to learn about the decree only on 17.10.1995 and  accordingly  the application for setting aside the  final  decree  was filed on 31.10.1995. The said stand taken by the appellant now is erroneous and  contrary to records for it has come on record that the  Local  Commissioner  visited  the premises of the appellant on 17.1.1994  and  made  enquiries about the two shares. The appellant herein was present at the  time when the said enquiries were made by the Local Commissioner and, therefore, the  appellant had definite knowledge about the passing of the  preliminary decree at that stage only.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\">     The other ground taken by the appellant is that he was suffering  from hear  ailment during the entire period and, therefore, could not  take  any effective steps in the suit. The said stand is also belied by the fact that the appellant was admitted to hospital on 9.5.1994 and was discharged  from the hospital on 24.5.1994 and therefore, the same could not have constituted as a ground for proving sufficient cause.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">11.  Thus,  in my considered opinion, the plea and the stand taken  by  the appellant  for  setting aside the ex parte decree and  in  the  application under <a href=\"\/doc\/100581\/\" id=\"a_3\">Section 5<\/a> of the Limitation Act were contrary to records and,  therefore, the executing court rightly rejected the said two applications  filed for setting aside the decree and for condensation of delay. The order passed by  the executing court dismissing the objections under Section 47 CPC,  in my considered opinion, was also justified for the executing court cannot go behind  the decree and decide as to whether the decree passed is  legal  ro illegal. The objections can be entertained only if it is proved and  established  that  the  decree is a nullity. The Additional  District  Judge  on consideration of the records found that no ground has been made out at  all<br \/>\nto  establish that the preliminary decree as also the final decree  was  in any  manner  a nullity. It was the specific case of defendant No.1  in  his written statement that he had received a sum of Rs.90,000\/- from the plaintiff in his account. The stand that is sought to be taken in this Court  as also  before  the Additional District judge appears to be  contrary  to  he aforesaid  stand taken by the appellant herein. Although the appellant  was discharged  as a garnishee in execution petition No.56\/1983  on  16.3.1993, the  said discharge cannot have any relevance to the  present  proceedings. The objections, therefore, were rightly rejected by the executing court.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_13\">12.  I  do  not  find any infirmity in the order passed  by  the  executing court,  nor  any  error in the exercise of jurisdiction  by  the  executing court.  The appeal and the revision petition have no merit and are  accordingly, dismissed, Pending applications stand disposed of accordingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi High Court Sikandar Lal Kohli vs P.S.
