The Kadavoor service co operative Bank vs Pushpavalli — 300170/2024

Order

Summary The Munsiff Court of Kothamangalam held that the execution petition filed by Kadavoor Service Co-Operative Bank Ltd. against four judgment debtors is maintainable and the award dated 18.02.2021 is executable. The court found it has both pecuniary jurisdiction (amount of ₹118,656/- falls within the ₹10 lakh limit) and territorial jurisdiction, relying on the High Court precedent in Sankar Singh v. Hosdrug Housing Co-operative Society Ltd., which establishes that awards under the Co-operative Societies Act can be executed by civil courts if they fall within the Munsiff court's jurisdiction. The award, treated as a money decree, can therefore be executed through arrest and detention proceedings under the CPC.
