Question to be determined
Full Text
All questions (including questions relating to right, title or interest in the property) arising between the parties to a proceeding on an application under rule 97 or rule 99 or their representatives, and relevant to the adjudication of the application, shall be determined by the Court dealing with the application and not by a separate suit and for this purpose, the Court shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other law for the time being in force, be deemed to have jurisdiction to decide such questions.
Plain English Summary
The cornerstone of execution jurisprudence: completely bars separate civil suits by mandating that ALL questions of right, title, interest, or possession arising under Rules 97 and 99 must be conclusively determined by the executing court itself, conferring deemed plenary jurisdiction.
Key Legal Elements
- Complete Abolition of Separate Suits: Absolute statutory bar on independent title suits.
- Plenary Jurisdiction Conferred: Executing court deemed to have full jurisdiction to try complex title questions.
- Non-Obstante Clause: Overrides any other law to the contrary to prevent multiplicity of litigation.
- Full Trial Mechanics: Framing of issues, examination/cross-examination of witnesses, and documentary evidence.
Practical Note
The Core Mandate of Order XXI Rule 101: 1. Landmark Authorities - Silverline Forum (P) Ltd. v. Rajiv Trust (1998) 3 SCC 723 & Sameer Singh v. Abdul Rab (2015) 1 SCC 379: The executing court cannot shirk its duty or relegate the parties to a separate civil suit. It has plenary jurisdiction to adjudicate all questions of title, lease, adverse possession, or benami transactions raised by an obstructer under Rule 101. 2. Inadmissibility of Fresh Suits: If an obstructer files an independent title suit in another court, the decree-holder must move under Order VII Rule 11(d) CPC citing the express bar of Rule 101 to have the plaint rejected.
