Decree for specific movable property
Full Text
(1) Where the decree is for any specific movable, or for any share in a specific movable, it may be executed by the seizure, if practicable, of the movable or share, and by the delivery thereof to the party to whom it has been adjudged, or to such person as he appoints to receive delivery on his behalf, or by the detention in the civil prison of the judgment-debtor, or by the attachment of his property, or by both.
(2) Where any attachment under sub-rule (1) has remained in force for three months, if the judgment-debtor has not obeyed the decree and the decree-holder has applied to have the attached property sold, such property may be sold, and out of the proceeds the Court may award to the decree-holder, in cases where any amount has been fixed by the decree to be paid as an alternative to delivery of movable property, such amount, and in other cases, such compensation as it thinks fit, and shall pay the balance (if any) to the judgment-debtor on his application.
(3) Where the judgment-debtor has obeyed the decree and paid all costs of executing the same which he is bound to pay, or where, at the end of three months from the date of the attachment, no application to have the property sold has been made, or, if made, has been refused, the attachment shall cease.
Plain English Summary
Prescribes execution of decrees for specific movable property through actual seizure and delivery, coercive detention, or property attachment, providing for auction and compensation if non-compliance exceeds three months.
Key Legal Elements
- Seizure & Physical Delivery: Primary remedy is actual seizure by court bailiff and handover to decree-holder.
- Coercive Backing: Detention in civil prison or general property attachment if debtor refuses delivery.
- Three-Month Attachment Window: Attached property can be auctioned after 3 months to satisfy compensation.
- Cessation of Attachment (Sub-rule 3): Automatic release upon obedience or failure to apply for sale within 3 months.
Practical Note
Executing for Specific Chattels/Movables: Ensure the execution application seeks appointment of a Court Commissioner / Bailiff with police protection to seize the specific movable property from the debtor's premises under Rule 31(1). If the debtor conceals the article, immediately apply for detention and attachment of his other assets.
हिंदी पाठ
(1) जहां डिक्री किसी विनिर्दिष्ट जंगम संपत्ति के लिए या उसमें किसी अंश के लिए है, वहां उसका निष्पादन, यदि साध्य हो तो, उस जंगम वस्तु या अंश को अभिगृहीत (Seize) करके और उसका परिदान उस पक्षकार को, जिसके पक्ष में वह निर्णित की गई है, अथवा ऐसे व्यक्ति को जिसे वह अपनी ओर से परिदान लेने के लिए नियुक्त करे, करके, अथवा निर्णय-ऋणी को सिविल कारागार में निरुद्ध करके, अथवा उसकी संपत्ति की कुर्की द्वारा, अथवा दोनों प्रकार से किया जा सकेगा।
(2) जहां उप-नियम (1) के अधीन कोई कुर्की तीन मास तक प्रवृत्त रही है, और निर्णय-ऋणी ने डिक्री का पालन नहीं किया है और डिक्रीदार ने कुर्क की गई संपत्ति को बेचने का आवेदन किया है, वहां ऐसी संपत्ति बेची जा सकेगी और उसके आगमों में से न्यायालय डिक्रीदार को अनुकल्पित राशि या उचित प्रतिकर दिला सकेगा तथा अतिशेष निर्णय-ऋणी को लौटा देगा।
(3) जहां निर्णय-ऋणी ने डिक्री का पालन कर दिया है और निष्पादन के खर्चे चुका दिए हैं, अथवा जहां कुर्की की तारीख से तीन मास की समाप्ति पर संपत्ति बेचने का कोई आवेदन नहीं किया गया है, वहां कुर्की समाप्त हो जाएगी।
