Supreme Court has observed as follows:
Jitendra Singh vs Bhanu Kumari & Ors on 11 April, 2008
In the case of
Jitendra Singh v. Bhanu Kumari & ors reported in AIR 2008 SC 2987,
the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that the power conferred by Section
24 CPC is discretionary and the same may be exercised suo motu as well
as for any administration reason, but when an application for transfer is
made by a party, the court is required to issue notice to the other side
and hear the parties before directing transfer. The Hon'ble Apex Court
further observed, "To put it differently, the Court must act judicially in
ordering a transfer on the application of a party". This would make it
clear to us that in such a case, the duty is to act judicially to prevent any
prejudice from being caused to the party. In the present case, it is seen
that no prejudice has been caused to the petitioner nor any specifics of the
prejudice likely to be caused have been spelt out by the petitioner. On the

other hand, if this order is upset on this ground, it would result in further
delay and prejudice to the decree-holder and then, in my humble opinion,
the Court would be failing in its duty to act judicially in a case where the
order of the High Court issued to the executing court to execute the
decree satisfactorily within six months has attained finality.
Kunwar Jang Bahadur vs The Bank Of Upper India, Limited on 29 March, 1928
In
Kuer Jang Bahadur v. Bank of Upper India Ltd., Lucknow reported in
AIR 1925 Oudh 448, the Court made another reflective observation -
Tirupati Co-Operative Town Bank ... vs Registrar Of Co-Operative Societies, ... on 10 December, 2002
29. These principles of law would apply to a case wherein the
description of the suit property is vague or the suit property is
unidentifiable and the mistake has been corrected by the executing court
or the clarification has been given by the executing court which amounts
to going behind the decree. Similarly, these principles of law would not
apply where description of the suit property is clear and the property is
identifiable. Between these two categories of cases, there could be an
intermediate category where there is some doubt about description of the
property. In such intermediate category of cases, the executing court can
make efforts to remove the doubt by examining the pleadings of the
parties and the findings recorded by the court passing the decree. Some
time in such cases, there arises a conflict between the area and
boundaries of the suit property. In case of such a conflict, the law is that
statement as to boundaries shall prevail. (See: The Palestine Kupat AM

P. Chandrasekharan & Others vs S. Kanakarajan & Others on 27 April, 2007
28. Now, let us deal with the second impugned order dated
17.4.2018. According to learned counsel for the petitioner, this order is
illegal as it goes behind the decree. He submits that the description of the
suit property itself being vague, the decree is unenforceable. This has
been disagreed to by learned counsel for the respondents. While it is true
that when description of the suit property is not clear and the suit
property is not identifiable, the Court of Law should refrain from passing
a decree which is not capable of enforcement. It is equally true that it is
impermissible for the executing court to rectify description of the property
incorrectly described in the decree itself and it is for the court which
passed the decree to correct the mistake in exercise of its inherent power
under Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure. These are the settled
principles of law and for this purpose a useful reference can be made to
