JUDGMENT : Banerji, J. In my judgment, there is no force in this appeal. The appellants, Musammat Afzalunnisa and Musammat Badrudduja, obtained a decree against Musammat Nurul Huda, from the court of the Subordinate Judge of Shahjahanpur and they applied for execution of that decree. Their prayer was that the amount of a decree obtained by Nurul Huda against Afzalunnissa and another, being decree in suit No. 61 of 1911, which was pending in the court of the Munsif of East Budaun, should be set off against the amount of the decree. It was alleged that the decree last-mentioned had been assigned to Ali Ahmad Ullah who objected to the prayer of the decree-holders on the ground that he had already obtained an assignment of the decree. The courts below have refused the decree-holder's application on the ground that under Order 21, rule 18, of the Code of Civil Procedure, the two decrees could not be set off, one against the other. This decision is, in my judgment, right inasmuch as the two decrees were not in course of execution in the same court, applications not having been made to that court for the execution of two cross-decrees in separate suits. One decree was in course of execution in the court of the Subordinate Judge of Shahjahanpur and the other in the court of the Munsif of East Budaun. The case, therefore, did not fall within the purview of rule 18 of Order 21 and there could not be a set-off as provided in that rule. The appeal, therefore, fails and is dismissed with costs.
