Plain English Summary
Section 68 previously enabled State Governments to frame rules transferring the execution of decrees against immovable property to the Collector. It was repealed by the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 1956.
Key Legal Elements
- Repealed Section: Repealed by the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 1956 (66 of 1956), s. 7.
- Former Executive Delegation: Governed transfer of immovable property execution to the District Collector.
- Now Directly Administered: Civil courts now retain direct execution control under Order XXI.
Practical Note
Historical Context & Abolition of Collector Execution Scheme: Prior to 1956, execution of decrees involving agricultural land was frequently transferred to the District Collector to prevent agrarian dispossession. The CPC Amendment Act of 1956 dismantled this scheme (Sections 68 to 72 and the Third Schedule) to streamline civil court jurisdiction, leaving only Section 54 (for revenue partition) intact.
