Power to attach subject of dispute and to appoint receiver

(1) If the Magistrate at any time after making the order under sub-section (1) of section 164 considers the case to be one of emergency, or if he decides that none of the parties was then in such possession as is referred to in section 164, or if he is unable to satisfy himself as to which of them was then in such possession of the subject of dispute, he may attach the subject of dispute until a competent Court has determined the rights of the parties thereto with regard to the person entitled to the possession thereof: Provided that such Magistrate may withdraw the attachment at any time if he is satisfied that there is no longer any likelihood of breach of the peace.

(2) When the Magistrate attaches the subject of dispute, he may, if no receiver has been appointed by any Civil Court, make such arrangements as he considers proper for looking after the property or if he thinks fit, appoint a receiver thereof, who shall have, subject to the control of the Magistrate, all the powers of a receiver appointed under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. If a receiver is subsequently appointed by a Civil Court, the Magistrate shall order his receiver to hand over possession and then discharge him.

(1) यदि मजिस्ट्रेट (धारा 164 के आदेश के बाद) मामला आपातकालीन मानता है, या यह तय नहीं कर पाता कि किसका कब्जा है, या उसे लगता है कि किसी का कब्जा नहीं है, तो वह संपत्ति को कुर्क (attach) कर सकता है। यह कुर्की तब तक जारी रहती है जब तक कि कोई कानूनी अदालत यह तय न कर दे कि इसका हकदार कौन है।

(2) मजिस्ट्रेट संपत्ति की देखरेख के लिए एक रिसीवर नियुक्त कर सकता है। इस रिसीवर के पास वही शक्तियां होंगी जो CPC, 1908 के तहत नियुक्त रिसीवर के पास होती हैं। यदि दीवानी अदालत बाद में अपना रिसीवर नियुक्त करती है, तो मजिस्ट्रेट के रिसीवर को संपत्ति सौंपनी होगी।
