Decree for delivery of movable property
Full Text
Where the suit is for movable property, and the decree is for the delivery of such property, the decree shall also state the amount of money to be paid as an alternative if delivery cannot be had.
Plain English Summary
Mandates that every decree directing delivery of specific movable property must state an alternative monetary value payable if physical delivery cannot be effected.
Key Legal Elements
- Specific Movable Property: Jewellery, machinery, vehicles, heirlooms.
- Compulsory Alternative Money Valuation: Ensures executable remedy if goods are destroyed or hidden.
Practical Note
Pleading Alternative Money Value: In a suit for recovery of specific goods (e.g. customized plant machinery), always plead and lead evidence on market valuation so the Court specifies the alternative sum under Rule 10, enabling execution via attachment of money if the machinery is untraceable.
हिंदी पाठ
जहां वाद जंगम संपत्ति (Movable property) के लिए है, और डिक्री ऐसी संपत्ति के परिदान के लिए है, वहां डिक्री में उस धनराशि का भी उल्लेख होगा जो विकल्प के रूप में तब चुकाई जाएगी यदि परिदान प्राप्त नहीं किया जा सकता हो।
