Questions in execution must be relevant to executing the decree

The litigation involved repeated applications concerning the suit property. The Court discussed the executing court’s role and jurisdiction. Questions raised must relate to matters legally open in execution. An execution application cannot be used to frustrate a final decree. The court must determine objections within the governing procedural law. The parties’ derivative claims must be assessed in that framework. The judgment emphasised the need to bring prolonged execution to an end. Further proceedings were restricted to protect the decree holder. Alka Shrirang Chavan & Anr. v.
