JAI DAYAL AND ORS. versus KRISHAN LAL GARG AND ANR.

If a decree for injunction becomes final, subsequent obstruction by the judgment-debtor must be remedied through execution under Order XXI Rule 32 CPC, not by requiring a fresh adjudication under Section 22 of the Easement Act or filing a new suit; non-compliance constitutes continuing disobedience with penal consequences.

Procedural Posture

Civil Appeal / Appeal by Special Leave From Allahabad High Court Judgment Dated 9.4.1980 in Execution Second Appeal No. 789 of 1969

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the judgment-debtor can circumvent a decree for perpetual and mandatory injunction by subsequent obstruction
  2. 2 Whether Section 22 of the Easement Act applies after a decree has attained finality
  3. 3 Whether a fresh suit is barred under Section 49 CPC where injunction is violated

Ratio Decidendi

If a decree for injunction becomes final, subsequent obstruction by the judgment-debtor must be remedied through execution under Order XXI Rule 32 CPC, not by requiring a fresh adjudication under Section 22 of the Easement Act or filing a new suit; non-compliance constitutes continuing disobedience with penal consequences.
