[Civil Appeal No. 7239 of 2012 (@ SLP (C) No.3272 of 2009]. Fakkir Mohamed Ibrahim Kalifulla, J. The judgment debtor is the appellant before us. This appeal is directed against the judgment of the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court dated 03.11.2008 in EFA (OS) No.9 of 2002. The respondent undertook some contract work with the appellant in respect of which the dispute arose as regards the payment to be made by the appellant. The dispute went before the sole Arbitrator who passed an award on 15.03.1982 which was made the Rule of Court after protracted litigation. Thus after the award became final and conclusive, the respondent herein filed Execution Petition No.208/2000 contending that the appellant did not furnish the award amount in its entirety. The appellant while resisting the Execution Petition, also filed EA No.522 of 2000 under Section 47 of the Code of Civil Procedure by taking the stand that entire award amount has been fully paid and, therefore, there was nothing to be granted in the Execution Petition. The learned Single Judge dismissed the objections by order dated 12.07.2002 which was the subject matter of appeal in which the impugned judgment came to be passed by the Division Bench of the High Court of Delhi.
