ORDER
By this miscellaneous petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners are challenging the order dated 09.01.2023 (Annexure-P/6) passed in Execution Case No.Ex.B/002/2018 pending before the Court of Second Additional District Judge, Betul, MP.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits in an identical case three ex parte decrees in a suit pending between the same parties have been passed by the Court below and all the ex parte decrees have been placed before the Executing Court for its execution and as such, three execution cases got registered. In one of the cases, the order passed by the Executing Court on 09.01.2023 was challenged before this Court by filing a miscellaneous petition i.e. M.P. No.680 of 2023 [Harish Bagla and another Vs. M/s Betul Oils Limited and another], which vide order dated 13.02.2023 got dismissed by the co-ordinate Bench directing the petitioners therein to raise objection before the Executing Court on the basis of which they are seeking interference by this Court. However, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the Executing Court failed to consider that respondent No.2 is under liquidation and moratorium has been declared against it in terms of Section 14 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, which provides that there shall be a prohibition on further adjudication on any suits or proceeding including execution of any judgment, decree or any order in any Court of Law and, therefore, the Executing Court should not proceed further.
3. Heard the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the record.
4. Since the objection as is being raised by the petitioners before this Court was not placed before the Executing Court and without dealing 3 it or giving any finding thereof, in a petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India when this Court is exercising supervisory jurisdiction, it would not be proper to give any finding on that objection, therefore, this petition is dismissed giving liberty to the petitioners to first raise objection before the Executing Court and if it is required then only they may file a fresh petition showing their grievance with the finding, if any, is given against them, but at this stage, no case is made out warranting interference.
5. With the aforesaid liberty, the petition filed by the petitioners stands dismissed.
