Authority: High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, Srinagar
Order Date: 06 October 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioner: Zahid Mushtaq Dar, Director, Alfalah Agri Tech Pvt Ltd, represented by Advocate Shabir Ahmad Dar.
- Respondents: Shah Nawaz Ahmad Khan and another, represented by Advocate P. S. Ahmad.
- The dispute concerns execution of a decree issued by the Principal District Judge, Pulwama, arising from a compromise entered into between the parties.
- The petitioner contended that, under Clause 8 of the compromise agreement, an aggrieved party may approach the court for execution but cannot file an execution application, rendering the decree unenforceable.
- Respondent No. 1 argued that only they may press for execution of the decree, while Respondent No. 2 cannot seek execution until the petitioner fulfills his obligations, which extend until March‑April 2027 per the compromise.
- The court examined the compromise clauses, noting that Clauses 1‑3 are self‑explanatory and that Clause 8 does not bar execution applications as the petitioner claimed.
Final Outcome
- The petition is disposed.
- The executing court is directed to proceed with execution of the decree against Respondent No. 1.
- The executing court shall not proceed against the petitioner concerning the decretal claim of Respondent No. 2 until the expiry of the period stipulated in the compromise, i.e., March‑April 2027.
