Hello!  

Rahul shah Vs Jitendra Kumar is a property related suit in which the debtors tried to obstruct the enforcement of debt by filing objections, appeals, criminal proceedings, creating conflicting rights over the property etc. Various writ petitions were filed by third parties and the debtors which hampered the court decision.   

In its judgement, the Supreme Court noted the misuse of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 to delay or prevent enforcement and laid down directive guidelines for all the other courts that had to be followed in the enforcement proceedings. Since the Supreme Court is the apex court of the country, the judgments and guidelines given by it will be binding on all the inferior courts from High Court to the District Court of the country as a binding precedent.
