From the case details it is not clear what the ex parte order. Whether the court while delivering judgment, order and decree has allowed any interest. The Court might have passed the judgment, decree and order directing the defendant to pay the amount within a certain period of time. If the amount has been paid within the time then no question of payment of interest arises. Moreover, in the Execution Petition the Plaintiff cannot pray for interest. If he intends to take interest on the amount then he has to prefer appeal against the judgment, order and decree passed by the Learned Court. From the details it is also not clear whether the plaintiff has filed or preferred any appeal. Be that as it may in Execution Petition the plaintiff cannot pray for interest if the same has not been allowed by the Learned Court in the judgment, order and decree passed.
