Sunder Dass vs Ram Prakash on 24 February, 1977

In case title Sunder Dass Vs. Ram Prakash1 of Hon'ble Mr. Justice P. N. Bhagwati while speaking in for the Bench ruled, "The validity of a decree can be challenged in execution proceedings only on the ground that the court which passed the decree lacked inherent jurisdiction. A court is said to be lacking in jurisdiction when it could not have seisin of the case because the subject matter was wholly foreign to its jurisdiction or that the defendant was dead at the time of institution of the suit or when the suit was decreed. Inherent lack of jurisdiction means a power or jurisdiction which does not at all exist or vest in a court. A court lacks inherent jurisdiction when the subject matter is wholly foreign to its ambit and is totally unconnected with its recognized jurisdiction."
