177. Effect of Failure to Observe Time:Failure to observe the time for the submission of objections shall result in the loss of the right thereto, and the Court of its own motion, shall pass an order accordingly, 178. Effect of Objection:(1) An objection is operative only in favour of or against the parties to it. (2) Nevertheless where a decree is in respect of an indivisible interest or a joint obligation or in respect of a suit in which the law necessitates the joinder of a certain person, any person against whom a decree is passed and who fails to object within the time prescribed or accepts the decree, may object to the decree during the pendency of an objection submitted by any other party affected by the decree, may object to the decree during the pendency of an objection submitted by any other party affected by the decree within the prescribed time by joining with the objector in his claim. If such person fails to apply to be joined, the Court shall order the objector to join him as a party to the objection. Where the objection is directed against one of several decree-holders and was made in time the others shall be joined even though the time for objection has expired. 179. Stay of Execution:The Court to which an objection is submitted may, on the application of any interested party, order the stay of execution of the decree or order if it is satisfied that substantial loss may result there from or for any other reason as the Court may think fit. The Court may make an expert order of stay pending the final disposal of the application to stay execution. 180. Protection of the Rights of the Parties:The Court staying execution under section 179, may order security to be furnished or make any other order as it deems fit for the protection of the interests of the decreeholder. Where the Court refuses to stay execution it may make such order as it deems necessary for the protection of the interests of the judgement debtor. 181. Modifying or Setting aside a Decree:(1) The Court to which an objection is submitted shall not set aside or modify a decree unless due notice of the objection and opportunity to answer orally or in writing is given to the other party. (2) No decree or order shall on objection be reversed or varied nor, in any case, be sent back for retrial on account of any misjoinder of parties or causes of action or any error, defect or irregularity in any proceedings in the suit unless it affects the merits of the case or the jurisdiction of the Court. 182. Where Objection Considered Submitted:An objection is considered submitted on the date when fees are paid or on the date of the presentation of the memorandum where the objector is excused from payment of fees by law or order of Court. 39
