Process for execution

Full Text

(1) When the preliminary measures (if any) required by the foregoing rules have been taken, the Court shall, unless it sees cause to the contrary, issue its process for the execution of the decree.

(2) Every such process shall bear date the day on which it is issued, and shall be signed by the Judge or such officer as the Court may appoint in this behalf, and shall be sealed with the seal of the Court and delivered to the proper officer to be executed.

(3) In every such process, a day shall be specified on or before which it shall be executed and a day shall also be specified on or before which it shall be returned to the Court, but no process shall be deemed to be void if no day for its return is specified therein.

Plain English Summary

Regulates the formal issuance of execution process (warrants of attachment, delivery of possession, or arrest), mandating date, judicial signature, court seal, and returnable deadlines.

Key Legal Elements

  • Three Formal Requisites of Process: Date, judicial signature, and court seal.
  • Execution Date & Return Date (Sub-rule 3): Warrant must specify time limit for bailiff execution.
  • Delivery to Court Bailiff (Nazarat): Executed through official process servers.

Practical Note

Defective Execution Warrants: An execution warrant lacking the court seal or the signature of the presiding judge/authorized officer is invalid in law. Resistance to an unsealed warrant does not constitute an offence of obstructing a public servant under Section 186 IPC / Section 221 BNS.
