Since some of the parties have not cooperated, therefore, Execution Application bearing No.1826/2018 has been filed in this Court by Entry No.2. As there was delay in filing the execution application, Notice under Order XXI Rule 22 was preferred. The said Notice

Considering that, in view of the parties had not appeared though they were duly served as shown in the affidavit of service of the Bailiff dated 18/12/2018 and advocate's affidavit of service dated 25/1/2024. 3) After the application filed under Order XXI Rule 22 was allowed, the matter has further proceeded for execution. However, some of the parties had chosen not to appear in the present proceeding.
4) Today, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the decree holder - claimant no.2 has sought a relief that Flat No.301-A, situated in Surya Apartment Co-operative Housing Society Limited, Bhulabhai Desai Road, Mumbai 400 026, be put up for auction under Order XXI Rule 65 of the Code of Civil Procedure. 5) Learned counsel for the plaintiff no.5 Mr. Dhaval Patil has no objection if this Court proceeds further with the selling of the said flat as the Court Receiver's Report dated 14/11/2024 is already on record.
6) In order to give one more chance to the parties, who are not present today, stand over to 29/4/2026.
7) Learned counsel appearing for the decree holder would serve the copy of today's order and the copy of the execution application on the other side by all permissible modes and file affidavit of service to that effect before the next date of the hearing.
8) It is made clear that though served, if some of the parties would not appear, this Court would proceed further to sale of Flat No.301-A, situated in Surya Apartment Co-operative Housing Society Limited, Bhulabhai Desai Road, Mumbai 400 026.
