To set aside the same, the revision petitioner filed E.A.No.2 of 2012. That was resisted by the decree holder stating that the revision petitioner filed appeal with a delay of 5 years before the appellate Court suppressing the above said filing of I.A.No.1 of 2022 before the appellate Court, the present petition was filed.

He was granted liberty by the Execution Court not only to pay the cost, but also directed to deposit half of the decree amount and how he is aggrieved is not stated by him. However, considering the fact that the revision petitioner is ready to pay the balance amount, let the half of the decree amount be paid by the revision petitioner either directly to the respondent or to the credit of this number before the Execution Court.

said order of arrest shall stand recalled and the Execution Court is at liberty to impose condition upon the revision petitioner regarding the payment of balance amount.

6.With the above said liberty and directions, these civil revision petitions stand dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
