L.N. Mittal, J.@mdashJudgment-debtor Sukhdev Singh has filed this revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India assailing order

dated 14.10.2009 (Annexure P5) and order dated 6.1.2007 (Annexure P3) passed by the Executing Court,. i.e., learned Civil Judge (Senior

Division) Bathinda, thereby dismissing objections of judgment-debtor/petitioner against attachment of his house. In execution of money decree

passed in favour of respondent Bhura Singh decree-holder, house of petitioner/judgment-debtor was attached. Petitioner filed objections alleging

that the house being his residential house is exempted from attachment u/s 60 of the Code of Civil Procedure(in short, ''CPC''). The said objections

dated 24.2.2006 (Annexure P2) were dismissed by the Executing Court vide order dated 6.1.2007 (Annexure P3). Instead of challenging the said

order (Annexure P3), the petitioner filed another objection petition dated 11.9.2009 (Annexure P4) on the same ground. The said objection

petition has been dismissed by the Executing Court vide order dated 14.10.2009 (Annexure P5).

2. I have heard Learned Counsel for the parties and perused the case file.

3. Learned Counsel for the petitioner contended that the attached house being the only residential house of the petitioner is exempted from

attachment u/s 60 CPC. The contention cannot be accepted in the facts and circumstances of the instant case. Objection petition dated 24.2.2006

(Annexure P2) to this effect was dismissed by the Executing Court vide order dated 6.1.2007 (Annexure P3). The said order remained

unchallenged till filing of the instant revision petition dated 18.1.2010, i.e., for 3 years. On the other hand, petitioner filed another objection petition

dated 11.9.2009 (Annexure P4) on the same ground. The said second objection petition was not maintainable in view of dismissal of earlier

objection petition. Consequently, the said second objection petition was rightly dismissed by the Executing Court vide order (Annexure P5).

Consequently, there is no infirmity much less legality, perversity or jurisdictional error in the impugned order (Annexure P5) so as to warrant

interference by this Court in exercise of revisional jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.

4. As regards order dated 6.1.2007 (Annexure P3), the same cannot be challenged in this revision petition dated 18.1.2010. The instant revision

petition qua the said order is barred by delay and laches. In fact order (Annexure P3) had attained finality, having not been challenged by the

petitioner. However, to create a ground for challenging the said order, the petitioner resorted to abuse of process of the Court by filing second

objection petition (Annexure P4) although his earlier objection petition (Annexure P2) on the same ground already stood dismissed. For the

reasons aforesaid, I find no merit in the revision petition which is accordingly dismissed.
