Case brief
What is this about?
Chhattisgarh High Court, Bilaspur; WP227 No. 418 of 2024; Md. Islamuddin Badgujar and Haji Sadruddin Badgujar v. Smt. Pratibha Gupta, Smt. Sarojni Gupta, Yusuf Gouri, Pramod Das Bairagi; Justice Deepak Kumar Tiwari; 18.06.2024; Article 227 Constitution of India; writ jurisdiction over execution; attachment proceeding; attachment warrant sustainability; merger doctrine - First Appellate Court decree merges into trial Court decree; FA No.124/2022 decided 18.10.2022; cross-objection allowed; mesne profit Rs.5,000/- per month from 13.02.2017 until premises vacated; Civil Suit No.17-A/2017; Additional District Judge Fast Track Court Rajnandgaon; execution realisation; petition dismissed; costs Rs.1,000/- to High Court Legal Services Committee within 15 days; advocate Badruddin Khan.
What did the court decide?
It is well settled that the decree of the First Appellate Court gets merged into the decree passed by the trial Court; accordingly, the execution for realisation of the mesne-profit amount awarded by the First Appellate Court (via the allowed cross-objection in FA No.124/2022) is maintainable even though the trial Court's own decree did not grant mesne profit.
