💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has directed all high courts to ensure that civil courts in their jurisdiction decide execution petitions within six months, or presiding officers will be held accountable. The court also ordered high courts to collect data from district courts regarding the pendency of execution petitions. If execution petitions remain pending for more than three years, it defeats the purpose of the decree. The order came after the court noted a long delay by executing courts in deciding such petitions.
