#possession warrant

The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that executing a possession warrant under Section 250 of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code before the appellate authority hears the stay application violates natural justice. The SDO must decide the stay application within 15 days, and possession cannot be disturbed until then - protecting landholders from irreversible dispossession during pending appeals.

Punjab & Haryana HC rules that execution of possession warrants cannot proceed while a first appeal is pending, even if the stay application is dismissed, provided the appeal was filed timely and the petitioner complies with interim orders. The court invoked its inherent powers under Section 151 CPC to prevent irreparable loss to the appellant, reinforcing appellate rights in execution proceedings.

Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that possession warrants under SARFAESI Act cannot be enforced while a securitization application is pending before DRT, preserving status quo until adjudication.

Madhya Pradesh High Court clarifies that any person in possession claiming independent title may file objections under Order 21 Rule 97 CPC before dispossession, rejecting the notion that remedy exists only post-eviction.
