This Execution Petition is coming on this the 7th day of June, 2019 for final hearing before me in the presence of Sri P.V.Prathapa Reddy, Advocate for the Decree Holder/Petitioner and Sri C.Rameshnatha Reddy, Advocate for the Judgment Debtor/Respondent and this Court delivered the following:-
O R D E R
1.This Execution Petition is filed by the Petitioner/Decree Holder under
Order 21 Rule 37, 38 and 40 of Code of Civil Procedure against the
Respondent/Judgment Debtor for realization of the Execution Petition amount.
2.It is the contention of the Petitioner in his petition affidavit that he is decree holder in the above said suit and he filed the present execution petition for realization of the execution petition amount. According to the petitioner the respondent is having house property, ready cash and gold jewelery. Further he is doing business and earning an amount of Rs.1,50,000/- per annum and he is having sufficient means to pay the execution petition amount. According to the petitioner the respondent purposefully evading to pay the execution petition amount. Hence prays to issue Rule 37 notice to the respondent and if he fails to pay the execution petition amount commit him to civil prison for realization of the execution petition amount.
2
3.The respondent filed his counter by denying the case of the petitioner.
According to the respondent, he is not having any means to pay the execution petition amount and he is not having any movable or immovable properties of his own and eking out his livelihood by doing agricultural labour work. Hence the execution petition for arrest is not maintainable and liable to be dismissed.
He also contended that the petitioner never made any demands for payment of decreetal amount before filing of this execution petition and the petitioner also never issued any prior notice to the respondent. According to the respondent he also preferred an appeal at Hon'ble District Court, Kurnool and he is also not having sound state of health and so he cannot be arrested and detained in civil prison. He also contended that the interest calculated is not correct one and there are no merits to allow the petition. Hence prays to dismiss the execution petition.
4.During the course of enquiry on behalf of the petitioner, he himself entered into witness box and examined as PW.1 and got marked Ex.P1 to Ex.P3.
The respondent also entered into witness box and examined as RW.1 and no documentary evidence marked on his behalf.
5.Heard arguments on both sides.
6.Now the point that arises for consideration is that:-
Whether the petitioner is entitled for the relief as prayed by
him?
7.Point:-
(a).According to the petitioner as PW.1, he is the decree holder in the above said suit and after the decree also he made several demands calling upon the respondent for payment of decreetal amount before filing of this execution petition but the respondent failed to repay the amount. According to
PW.1, the respondent is having ready cash in his hand and also doing banana business in Rayalacheruvu area and he is having Ac.1-82 cents of agricultural land in Sy.No.7 in Konapuram village and he is having Ac.0.98 cents of agricultural land in Sy.No.15 in Konapuram village fields and he is getting an 3 income nearly Rs.3,00,000/- per annum. To prove the means and capacity of respondent, the PW.1 also filed and got marked Ex.P1 to Ex.P3 which are True
Extract of Form 1-B issued by the Tahasildar, Peddavaduguru, Adangal No.3 account for the fasli 1425 to the Sy.No.15 of Konapuram village fields and Ex.P3 is the Adangal No.3 Account for the fasli 1425 in Sy.No.7 of Konapuram village fields. So as per the evidence of PW.1 the respondent is having agricultural lands and also getting sufficient income to discharge the execution petition amount but wantonly evading to pay the same.
(b). The respondent also entered into witness box and examined as
RW.1, to show that he is not getting any sufficient income to discharge the execution petition amount. He testified that he is not the sole owner of Ac.1.82 cents of land in Sy.No.7 and an extent of Ac.0.98 cents in Sy.No.15 of
Konapuram village fields and said land belongs to his family members and they are also having equal share in the above said land. He also testified that the said land is totally dry land and not getting any amount through the land. He also deposed that his family members are totally depending upon him to maintain their livelihood. He also testified that he preferred an appeal before
Hon'ble District Court, Kurnool against the decree and same is pending. In the
cross examination he admitted that he is having land to an extent of Ac.1.82 cents of land in Sy.No.7 and also an extent of Ac.0.98 cents of land at Sy.No.15 of Konapuram village fields. He denied the suggestion that in between him and
Decree Holder there are money transactions. Though RW.1 testified that he preferred an appeal before the Hon'ble District Court, Kurnool over the decree and judgment in the above said suit, but he did not file any documentary proof to show that he preferred an appeal and also not filed any stay proceedings relating to this execution petition. Further he categorically admitted that he is having agricultural lands at Konapuram village, it appears that the respondent though having immovable properties of his own and getting sufficient income to discharge the execution petition amount, but wantonly evading to pay the same.
4
(c).As already discussed the petitioner as PW.1 by adducing his oral evidence and also documentary evidence i.e. Ex.P1 to Ex.P3 clearly reveals that the respondent is having immovable properties i.e. agricultural lands and getting sufficient income through the said lands. Thus the petitioner as PW.1 clearly proves the means and capacity of respondent to pay the execution petition amount. Particularly the respondent also admitted in the cross examination about his possession and enjoyment of the agricultural lands. In view of admission made by the respondent about his earning capacity through the agricultural lands, this court hold that the respondent is having means to discharge execution amount but evading to pay the same. Hence the petitioner entitled for the relief as prayed by him.
In the result, this Execution Petition is allowed, issue arrest warrant against the Judgment Debtor on payment of process.
Dictated to the Stenographer-III, transcribed and typed by him, corrected
and pronounced by me in open Court this the 14th day of June, 2019.
