Gujarat High Court Civil Manual (subordinate court practice), 1960
Another prominent and important part of the theory of the Code in the matter of execution is that a decree once satisfied shall not be made the ground of further execution proceedings against the judgment-debtor. To ensure this a Register of Suits is provided in which all steps taken in execution and all payments made are to be noted or entered. But it often happens that payments are made or a decree is partially or wholly satisfied out of Court. The intention of the Code is that all such payments or satisfaction should be reported to the Court. Frequently, however, this is not done and consequently, in order that the intention of the Code may not be defeated, it is necessary for the Court to take steps of its own initiative to find out whether a decree has been wholly or partially satisfied.
