Mohini Syal Vs. Kushal Kumar

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Oct-22-1980

Reported in: 18(1980)DLT497; 1980(1)DRJ158

ORDER21 rule 16, Civil Procedure Code merely permits the executing court to allow the assignee to execute the decree. But if the assignee does not come forward, the executing court can by no stretch of imagination prevent the decree-holder from executing his decree. That is the right of the every decree-holder. Thus Order 21, rule 16, Civil Procedure Code, will not at all be attracted to such a situation and although the respondent might have declared that he had assigned the right under the decree in favor of the defense Department, he cannot be prevented from executing the decree. If the assignment be valid the execution will be for the benefit of the respondent himself'.(8) I am thus of the considered opinion that the petitioner has locus standi to continue the execution proceedings inpursuance of the permission granted under Section 21 of the Act. In all the cited cases the decree-holder took proceedings after assignment. In the case before me execution proceedings were initiated o...
