#CPC Order XXI

Karnataka High Court rules that interest under the Workmen’s Compensation Act continues to accrue until the award amount is physically received by the decree-holder, even if deposited in appeal. Unilateral deposits without compliance with CPC Order XXI do not discharge the liability, reinforcing the executing court’s role in ensuring full payment.

Rajasthan High Court rules that the corporate veil cannot be pierced in execution proceedings without proof of fraud, specific pleadings, or statutory mandate. The court held that environmental principles like 'polluter pays' cannot substitute for substantive adjudication under the CPC, reinforcing natural justice in execution cases.
