Venkataramaiya, J. 1. This case presents a striking illustration of the dilatory tactics practised by the Judgment-Debtor to successfully delay and, if possible, also defeat the realisation of the fruits of the decree.1a. The decree execution of which is sought was passed so long back as 6-6-1934. The original Decree-holder, alter one or two infructuous attempts to recover the money passed away. Apparently, his legal representatives having found it difficult to realise the amounts due under the decree assigned it in favour of the appellant. The appellant thereon applied for execution and in the course of the proceedings in Execution Case No. 521 of 41-42 on 26-3-1943 the assignment was recognised. Execution Case No. 238 of 44-45, which was subsequently filed was disposed of on 1-3-1946 in these words:'Steps not taken. Decree-holder absent. No witnesses.
