Application for execution by joint decree-holders
Full Text
(1) Where a decree has been passed jointly in favour of more persons than one, any one or more of such persons may, unless the decree imposes any condition to the contrary, apply for the execution of the whole decree for the benefit of them all, or, where any of them has died, for the benefit of the survivors and the legal representatives of the deceased.
(2) Where the Court sees sufficient cause for allowing the decree to be executed on an application made under this rule, it shall make such order as it deems necessary for protecting the interest of the persons who have not joined in the application.
Plain English Summary
Authorizes any one joint decree-holder to execute the entire decree for the benefit of all co-decree-holders or deceased co-holders' legal heirs, with court safeguards protecting non-joining parties.
Key Legal Elements
- Execution of the WHOLE Decree: Cannot execute for piecemeal individual share.
- Benefit of All: Locus standi exercised on behalf of non-joining co-decree-holders.
- Protective Orders (Sub-rule 2): Court may demand security or deposit of non-joining co-sharers' proceeds in court treasury.
Practical Note
Joint Execution Pitfall: A joint decree-holder cannot apply for execution of only their own individual fractional share (e.g. 50% of the money). Under Rule 15, the application MUST be for the execution of the entire decree for the benefit of all.
हिंदी पाठ
(1) जहां कोई डिक्री एक से अधिक व्यक्तियों के पक्ष में संयुक्त रूप से पारित की गई है, वहां ऐसे व्यक्तियों में से कोई एक या अधिक व्यक्ति, जब तक कि डिक्री इसके विपरीत कोई शर्त अधिरोपित न करती हो, उन सभी के फायदे के लिए, अथवा जहां उनमें से किसी की मृत्यु हो गई है, वहां उत्तरजीवियों और मृतक के विधिक प्रतिनिधियों के फायदे के लिए संपूर्ण डिक्री के निष्पादन हेतु आवेदन कर सकेगा।
(2) जहां न्यायालय इस नियम के अधीन डिक्री के निष्पादन की अनुमति देने का पर्याप्त कारण देखता है, वहां वह उन व्यक्तियों के हित के संरक्षण के लिए ऐसा आदेश करेगा जैसा वह आवश्यक समझे जो आवेदन में सम्मिलित नहीं हुए हैं।
