what is the effect of not filing the copy of
the decree along with the execution application filed
by the appellant.
In our view, even though the
appellant did not file the certified copy of the decree
along with the execution application for the reason
that the same was not passed by the Court, yet the
execution application filed by the appellant, in our
view, was maintainable. Indeed, so long as the
formal decree was not passed, the order dated
01.06.2012 was to be treated as a decree during the
interregnum period by virtue of Order 20 Rule 6A (2)
of the Code. In other words, notwithstanding the
fact that the decree had not been passed, yet by
virtue of principle underlined in Order 20 Rule 6A(2)
of the Code, the order dated 01.06.2012 had the
23
effect of a decree till the date of actual passing of
the decree by the Court for the purposes of
execution or for any other purpose. This empowered
the Executing Court to entertain the execution
application and decide the objections raised by the
respondent on merits.
