On May 15, 2009, again the Counsel for the Judgment debtors sought opportunity to file objections. Even on January 17, 2018, Shah Faisal Field Supervisor appeared on behalf of judgment debtors. Despite of ample opportunities, judgment debtors did not bother to file the objections. Perusal of the file reveals that this execution petition is pending for the last more than 15 years for a meager decretal amount of Rs 18,600 along with Interest @ 10 per cent per annum from the date of filing of suit till It is liquidated as ordered by the court.
