My company has obtained a execution decree from company court against 'xyz' company. My company has filed execution petition in civil court in mumbai. The 'xyz' company has filed a petition in Mumbai High Court contending that the civil court does not have the jurisdiction to entertain the same. Is the contention of 'xyz'company tenable.

Civil court has every jurisdiction to function as a execution court.

The civil court under whose jurisdiction the company upon which the decree is passed or under whose jurisdiction the assests of that company are situated has jurisdiction to entertain the EP. But to my knowledge you have to file the EP in the court which has granted the decree and transfer the same to the courts having jurisdction for exection.
