casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Jagdish Dutt's special leave petition challenging execution of an ejectment decree. The Court held that when a joint family decree for possession is passed and a coparcener sells their undivided interest to the judgment debtor, the decree is extinguished only to that extent. Since the respondent's rights were undefined and indeterminate, the executing court must ascertain the parties' rights through an appropriate partition suit before executing the decree in full, rather than granting only symbolic possession. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
