1.

Present revision petition filed under Article 227 of the

Constitution of India, is directed against the order dated 20.3.2017

(Annexure P-1) passed by the learned executing court, whereby conditional

warrant of arrest was issued, only with a view to secure presence of the

petitioner.

2.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

3.

A bare reading of the impugned order would make it crystal

clear that it was the petitioner who forced the learned executing court to pass

the impugned order, issuing conditional warrant of arrest to secure his

presence. Despite the fact that case was called many times since morning,

nobody put appearance on behalf of the petitioner-judgment debtor. In such

a situation, learned executing court was left with no other option except to

pass the impugned order, so as to secure presence of the petitioner. Having

said that, this Court feels no hesitation to conclude that the learned executing

court was well within its jurisdiction to pass the impugned order and the

same deserves to be upheld, for this reason also.

4.

During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner

could not point out any patent illegality or perversity in the impugned order,

which may warrant interference at the hands of this Court, while exercising

its revisional jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. It

goes without saying that the impugned order passed by the learned executing

court issuing conditional warrant of arrest was only with a view to ensure

presence of the petitioner.

5.

No other argument was raised.

6.

Considering the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case

noted above, coupled with the reasons aforementioned, this Court is of the

considered view that present revision petition is misconceived, bereft of

merit and without any substance. Thus, it must fail. No case for interference

has been made out.

7.

With the abovesaid observations, present revision petition

stands disposed of, however, with no order as to costs.
