2. In the execution of the aforesaid decree, the sale deed has already been registered in favour of the petitioner. The petitioner is also in possession of the property in dispute. The first execution petition filed by the petitioner was disposed of as satisfied. He filed the second execution petition complaining that the revenue authorities are not sanctioning the mutation entry in his favour as per the registered sale deed.
3. Learned counsel representing the petitioner contends that the mutation entry is meant only for the purpose of updating the record and therefore, the revenue authorities responsible for the maintenance of the revenue record cannot refuse to sanction the mutation entry in his favour.
4. This Court has considered the submissions made by the learned counsel representing the parties.
5. The operative part of the judgment and decree has already been extracted. The decree is conditional with respect to the specific performance of the agreement to sell and the condition has already been complied with. The Executing Court, while executing the judgment cannot go beyond the reliefs given by the trial court while passing the judgment and decree.
6. Keeping in view the aforesaid facts, no ground to interfere is made out.
7. Hence, dismissed accordingly.
