A decree can be said to be without jurisdiction,andhence a nullity,iftheCourtpassing the decree has usurped a jurisdiction which it did not have; a mere wrong exercise of jurisdiction doesnotresultinnullity.Thelackofjurisdictionin theCourtpassingthedecreemustbepatentonits faceinordertoenabletheexecutingCourttotake

Even this aspect has been gone into elaborately by the court below. The Courts below have adverted to the factual aspects and have pointed out that the amount was to be deposited withinthetimestipulated.However,thejudgment debtors deposited Rs.
5100 by way of two installments but failed to deposit interest thereon as directed by the trial court. In the order passed by the executing court, it has observed that the deposit was not made within time. On the own showing of the petitioner, the amount directed to be deposited by the trial court was deposited in twoinstallmentsi.e.on9thJuly1999and20thJuly 1999.Thereisnodisputethattheamountwasnot deposited within the stipulated time. Hence, when the condition of deposit in the decree having not beencompliedwithadmittedly,theexecutingcourt could not have granted any benefit to the Petitioner/JudgementDebtor.Thereisnoquestion of the Executing Court extending the time for deposit.
The Executing Court had to go by the decree and whenitfoundthattheconditionofdeposithasnot been complied with within the time stipulated, then,ithadnoalternativebuttogiveeffecttothe consequences of default and issue the warrant of possession. It rightly issued that and even the factualfinding againstthepetitioneronthiscount requiresnointerferenceinwritjurisdiction. [12] *%
