Delivery of property in occupancy of tenant

Full Text

Where the property sold is in the occupancy of a tenant or other person entitled to occupy the same and a certificate in respect thereof has been granted under rule 94, the Court shall, on the application of the purchaser, order delivery to be made by affixing a copy of the certificate of sale in some conspicuous place on the property, and proclaiming to the occupant by beat of drum or other customary mode, at some convenient place, that the interest of the judgment-debtor has been transferred to the purchaser.

Plain English Summary

Prescribes symbolical delivery of immovable property to the auction purchaser when occupied by lawful tenants, executed via warrant affixation and public drum proclamation.

Key Legal Elements

  • Symbolical Delivery Mode: Protects bona fide tenants with protected tenancies.
  • Proclamation of Title Transfer: Public drum announcement terminating debtor's landlord status.
  • Automatic Attornment: Establishes statutory landlord-tenant relationship between purchaser and occupant.

Practical Note

Symbolical Possession Establishes Landlord Status: Executing a warrant under Rule 96 puts an end to the debtor's title and attorns the tenant to the auction purchaser. The purchaser can thereafter maintain an eviction suit under the state Rent Control Act as landlord.

हिंदी पाठ

जहां बेची गई संपत्ति किसी किरायेदार या अन्य ऐसे व्यक्ति के अधिभोग में है जो उस पर अधिभोग रखने का हकदार है और नियम 94 के अधीन प्रमाणपत्र दिया जा चुका है, वहां न्यायालय क्रेता के आवेदन पर संपत्ति के सहजदृश्य स्थान पर विक्रय प्रमाणपत्र की प्रति चस्पा करके और ढोल पीटकर (मुनादी कराकर) उस अधिभोगी को यह उद्घोषणा कराके परिदान किए जाने का आदेश देगा कि निर्णय-ऋणी का हित क्रेता को अंतरित हो चुका है।
