of <h1>Court remits matter for proper execution of decree, emphasizing correct legal interpretation.</h1> The court set aside the orders under revision and remitted the matter to the Small Causes Court for appropriate action in executing the decree. The Small ... Enforcement of orders of one court by other courts Issues:Jurisdiction of the court to entertain the execution petition and applicability of Karnataka Debt Relief Act, 1980.Analysis:The revision petition involved a chit funds company challenging the legality of an order made by the Small Causes Judge in Execution No. 1146 of 1984. The primary question was whether the court below was justified in rejecting the petition sought to be executed under the provisions of section 64 of the Chit Funds Act. The petitioner had obtained an order under section 446(2)(b) of the Companies Act directing the respondent to pay a sum owed to the company. The key issues were whether this order could be executed as a decree and if so, whether the Small Causes Court had jurisdiction to execute it.The court analyzed the scope of section 635 of the Companies Act, which allows for the enforcement of orders made by one court through another court. It was established that an order passed under section 446(2)(b) could be considered as a decree for enforcement purposes. The court emphasized that the executing court must treat the order as if it had been passed by itself, granting it the necessary powers and jurisdiction for execution. Despite this, the Small Causes Judge dismissed the execution petition based on the provisions of the Chit Funds Act and the Karnataka Debt Relief Act, 1980.The petitioner argued that the Small Causes Court should have considered whether the order could be treated as a decree and if the court had jurisdiction to execute it. The court found that the Small Causes Judge erred in not focusing on these crucial aspects and instead delved into irrelevant provisions. It was emphasized that the executing court's jurisdiction, both pecuniary and territorial, should have been assessed based on the Companies Act and the Small Causes Courts Act. As a result, the orders under revision were set aside, and the matter was remitted to the Small Causes Court for appropriate action in executing the decree.The court directed the Small Causes Court to rehear and dispose of the matter within a specified timeline, without the need for a fresh notice. The judgment highlighted the importance of correctly interpreting the relevant legal provisions to ensure the proper execution of orders and the realization of amounts owed.
