Das, learned senior counsel representing the petitioners as well as Mr. G.N. Sahewalla, learned senior counsel Page No.# 5/6 representing the respondents.

¶2This is an application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India challenging the order dated 21.01.2022 passed by the learned Munsiff, No.1, Karimganj in Title Execution Case No.11/2016.

¶3In the year 1990, the T.S. No.273/1990 was filed against the petitioners for their ejectment from the suit property. During the pendency of the suit, the predecessor-in-interest of the petitioners purchased a part of the suit property. Ultimately, the said suit was decreed in favour of the respondents. An appeal was preferred and the said appeal was also dismissed. Thus, the Execution proceeding being Title Execution Case No.11/2015 came into existence.

¶4Thereafter, the respondents filed again T.S. No.191/1993 exercising their preferential right under Section 22 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1996 to purchase the suit property and for cancellation of the earlier sale deed. This suit was also decreed in favour of the respondents. Accordingly, the connected appeal as well as the connected second appeal were also dismissed. Thus, the Title Execution Case No.11/2016 came into existence.

¶5This time, the petitioners filed the Title Suit being T.S. 150/2022 praying for declaration of their right, title and interest of the suit land and for setting aside the judgment and decree of T.S. 191/1993 and also for dismissal of Title Execution Case No.11/2016 (arising of T.S. No.191/1993).

¶6The petitioners filed an application before the executing court praying for stay of this execution proceeding i.e. Title Execution Case Page No.# 6/6 No.11/2016 on the ground that the subject-matter of the suit and the execution proceeding is the same. The executing court dismissed the prayer made by the petitioners.

¶7I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsels of both sides.

¶8Under Section 47 of the Code of Civil Procedure, a decree which is a nullity, can be the subject-matter of objection, not on any other ground either on error of law or of facts. The power of the Court under Section 47 of the Code, is very narrow. The subject-matter of T.S. 150/2022 and Title Execution Case No.11/2016 is the same, cannot be a ground for staying the execution proceeding.

¶9I find that the petitioners have failed to present a good case in their favour. The order of the learned Magistrate does not require any interference of this Court. The present petition stands dismissed.
