Special provisions relating to growing crops
Full Text
(1) Where the property to be sold is a growing crop and the crop from its nature admits of being stored but has not yet been stored, the day of the sale shall be so fixed as to admit of its being made ready for storing before the arrival of such day, and the sale shall not be held until the crop has been cut or gathered and is ready for storing.
(2) Where the crop from its nature does not admit of being stored, it may be sold before it is cut and gathered, and the purchaser shall be entitled to enter on the land, and to do all that is necessary for the purpose of tending and cutting or gathering it.
Plain English Summary
Distinguishes between storable crops (must be harvested and dried before auction) and perishable/non-storable crops (can be sold standing with a license for the purchaser to enter and harvest).
Key Legal Elements
- Storable Crops Rule: Sale deferred until crop is reaped, threshed, and ready for storage.
- Non-Storable Crops Rule: Immediate sale of standing crop to avoid decay.
- Purchaser's Statutory License (Sub-rule 2): Absolute right of auction purchaser to enter land, tend, and harvest.
Practical Note
Harvesting Injunction Defeated: Where an auction purchaser buys standing sugarcane or horticultural crops under Rule 75(2), the judgment-debtor cannot obstruct entry. Any physical resistance gives the purchaser the right to seek police assistance directly from the executing court.
हिंदी पाठ
(1) जहां बेची जाने वाली संपत्ति खड़ी फसल है और वह अपनी प्रकृति से भंडारण योग्य (Admitting of being stored) है किंतु अभी भंडारित नहीं की गई है, वहां विक्रय का दिन इस प्रकार नियत किया जाएगा कि उस दिन के आने से पूर्व वह भंडारण के लिए तैयार हो जाए, तथा विक्रय तब तक नहीं किया जाएगा जब तक कि फसल काट या एकत्र न कर ली गई हो और भंडारण के लिए तैयार न हो।
(2) जहां फसल अपनी प्रकृति से भंडारण योग्य नहीं है (शीघ्र खराब होने वाली है), वहां उसे काटने और एकत्र करने से पूर्व ही बेचा जा सकेगा, तथा क्रेता भूमि में प्रवेश करने और उसकी देखभाल, कटाई व संग्रहण के लिए आवश्यक सब कुछ करने का हकदार होगा।
