Act, 2005 as modified by the learned Sessions Judge, Jagatsinghpur in Criminal Appeal No.16 of 2020, the Executing Court shall address the same in proper perspective within two weeks of filing of such petition. However till the aforesaid petition is filed by the petitioner within the time stipulated, the N.B.W. issued against him shall not be executed. Needless to say that if it is found that the petitioner is not liable to pay any amount to the opposite party no.2 in the Execution case, the N.B.W. issued against him shall be recalled and the execution proceeding shall be dropped.
