Section 47 CPC | Execution Court Cannot Order Plot Allotment Beyond Decree’s Speaking Order Mandate: Punjab & Haryana HC

An executing court cannot compel plot allotment when the decree only requires the land authority to issue a speaking order evaluating entitlement under a policy. This reaffirms that execution is confined to enforcing the decree’s exact terms, not expanding it into substantive relief - a vital check on judicial overreach in land disputes involving public trusts and displaced persons.
