Application for attachment of immovable property to contain certain particulars

Full Text

Where an application is made for the attachment of any immovable property belonging to a judgment-debtor, it shall contain at the foot—
(a) a description of such property sufficient to identify the same and, in case such property can be identified by boundaries or numbers in a record of settlement or survey, a specification of such boundaries or numbers; and
(b) a specification of the judgment-debtor’s share or interest in such property to the best of the belief of the applicant, and so far as he has been able to ascertain the same.

Plain English Summary

Mandates that applications for attaching immovable property must append at the foot an exact description with boundaries/survey numbers and specify the debtor's proportionate share in the property.

Key Legal Elements

  • Four-Sided Boundaries & Survey Numbers: Prevents attachment warrants against wrong parcels.
  • Share Specification: Essential where the debtor is merely an undivided co-sharer in joint family property.

Practical Note

Attaching Undivided Shares in Joint Property: Under Clause (b), always specify: 'The judgment-debtor possesses an undivided 1/4th share in the residential plot measuring 500 sq. yards bounded by [Boundaries]'. This enables attachment of the debtor's undivided interest under Order XXI Rule 54.
