Issues: Whether limitation for execution under Article 136 of the Limitation Act, 1963 runs from the date of the original decree or from the date on which the decree was amended and scaled down under subsequent debt-relief legislation.
Analysis: Article 136 prescribes twelve years from the time when the decree or order becomes enforceable. The governing inquiry is therefore not merely the date of the original decree but the date on which the decree sought to be executed is capable of enforcement. The earlier regime under Section 48 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 used the date of the decree, but that provision was replaced and the language of Article 136 was intended to shift the focus to enforceability. Where legislative intervention had suspended execution and the decree was later substantially scaled down and amended, the original decree no longer remained the executable decree. What could be enforced was the amended decree, and limitation had to be computed from that date.
Conclusion: Limitation began to run from the date of the amended and scaled-down decree, not from the date of the original decree; the execution petition was therefore within time and the objection to limitation failed.
Ratio Decidendi: For execution under Article 136 of the Limitation Act, 1963, limitation runs from the date on which the decree sought to be executed becomes enforceable, and where a decree is substantively amended or scaled down, the amended decree furnishes the starting point.
