Theevana Pillai and Another vs Kulla Pillai and Another

The plain tiff got a decree for possession and took possession in execution. The defendants appealed and the decree was reversed. The

defendants then took possession--but without applying for execution. On second appeal the original decree was confirmed. The question is

whether the plaintiff is entitled in execution of the final decree to get possession the land. If the defendants had taken possession by process of

execution there can be no doubt that the plaintiff could have got possession in execution under the provisions of Section 583, Civil Procedure

Code, We do not think the plaintiffs should be put in a worse position, because the defendants took possession without the intervention of the

Court and in defiance of an order of the Court staying execution. This appeal is dismissed with costs.
