As per the case facts, a dispute arose over the non-payment of compensation for acquired land, spanning over three decades. The land was acquired by an Improvement Trust, and the ... compensation determined by the Trust was not accepted by the landowners, leading to a reference under the LA Act. The Tribunal enhanced the compensation, but the Trust did not pay. The appeal concerned execution proceedings where the High Court took a view contrary to the Executing Court's orders regarding the non-payment. The question arose whether the execution proceedings were being unduly prolonged by the Improvement Trust, defeating the rights of the party who had succeeded in establishing their claim. Finally, the Supreme Court found that the execution proceedings had been unduly prolonged, defeating the rights of the successful party. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment and upheld the Executing Court's order as sustained by the Appellate Court. The Supreme Court also imposed costs on the Respondent Trust, expressing hope that the appellant would finally benefit from the land purchased decades ago.
