5. Before our brother, Sanjeeva Bow Nayudu J., not only the decision of but also the decision of Srinivasa Ayyar v. Lakshmi Ammal, ILR 56 Mad 343 : (AIR 1933 Mad 33 (1)) were cited for the proposition that the respondent was not entitled to proceed with the execution unless and until the charged property has been exhausted or where the judgment-debtor shows that the decree-holder's application is mala fide and oppressive and not made for legitimate purposes, the Court may in its discretion refuse the decree-holder's application and compel her to pursue her remedy against the security. The first or these decisions, which is by Mack, J. sitting singly, was distinguished on the ground that it did not relate to a compromise decree and the observations in the second one, which is of a Division Bench were dissented from.
