23. Though this view has echoed time out of
number in similar pronouncements of this Court,
in Dhurandhar Prasad Singh Vs. Jai Prakash University,
[(2001) 6 SCC 534 : AIR 2001 SC 2552], while dwelling
on the scope of Section 47 of the Code, it was ruled that
the powers of the court thereunder are quite different
and much narrower than those in appeal/revision or

review. It was reiterated that the exercise of power
under Section 47 of the Code is microscopic and lies in a
very narrow inspection hole and an executing court can
allow objection to the executability of the decree if it is
found that the same is void ab initio and is a nullity,
apart from the ground that it is not capable of execution
under the law, either because the same was passed in
ignorance of such provision of law or the law was
promulgated making a decree unexecutable after its
passing. None of the above eventualities as recognised
in law for rendering a decree unexecutable, exists in the
case in hand. For obvious reasons, we do not wish to
burden this adjudication by multiplying the decisions
favouring the same view."
In this context, the learned counsel for the
appellant relied on a judgment of this Court reported in 1962 (2) MLJ 166
(Saradambal Ammal Vs. Sambanda Mudaliar).
