A report dated 25.03.2011 has again been submitted by the Amin before the executing Court informing about the aforesaid fact. 7. It is further submitted that despite the best efforts, the petitioner has not been handed over the possession of the property in dispute and is unnecessarily being harassed, therefore an appropriate direction is required to be issued by this Court to the concerned authorities. 8. From the bare perusal of the record, it appears that the decree of eviction dated 14.11.1991 has become final, as such, there is no legal impediment in execution of the decree in its true spirit but because the premises in dispute is occupied by the police for the purpose of Police Chowki, the petitioner is not able to get the possession of the premises. 9. This Court by order dated 08.07.2011 had issued the notice to the respondents for filing counter affidavit, but till date neither counter affidavit has been filed nor the disputed premises has been vacated. 10.
