Order against garnishee
Full Text
Where the garnishee does not forthwith pay into Court the amount due from him to the judgment-debtor or so much thereof as is sufficient to satisfy the decree and the costs of execution, and does not appear and show cause in answer to the notice, the Court may order the garnishee to comply with the terms of such notice, and on such order, execution may issue as though such order were a decree against him.
Plain English Summary
Empowers the court to pass a deemed decree directly against the garnishee if he defaults in appearance or fails to show cause, enabling immediate execution against the garnishee's own assets.
Key Legal Elements
- Default Order: Triggered by non-payment and non-appearance after notice.
- Deemed Decree Status: The order operates as a full-fledged decree against the garnishee.
- Direct Execution: Decree-holder can attach and auction the garnishee's personal properties.
Practical Note
Execution Against Garnishee's Own Property: If a bank or corporate debtor ignores a Rule 46A notice, move immediately under Rule 46B. The court will treat the order as an independent money decree against that institution, allowing direct attachment of the garnishee's assets.
हिंदी पाठ
जहां गार्निशी निर्णय-ऋणी को अपने द्वारा शोध्य रकम तुरंत न्यायालय में जमा नहीं करता है और सूचना के उत्तर में उपस्थित होकर कारण दर्शित नहीं करता है, वहां न्यायालय गार्निशी को ऐसी सूचना के निबंधनों का अनुपालन करने का आदेश दे सकेगा, और ऐसे आदेश पर निष्पादन इस प्रकार जारी हो सकेगा मानो वह आदेश उसके विरुद्ध ही कोई डिक्री हो।
