Full Text
(1) Upon the determination of the questions referred to in rule 101, the Court shall, in accordance with such determination and subject to the provisions of sub-rule (2),—
(a) make an order allowing the application and directing that the applicant be put into the possession of the property or dismissing the application; or
(b) pass such other order as, in the circumstances of the case, it may deem fit.
(2) Where, upon such determination, the Court is satisfied that the resistance or obstruction was occasioned without any just cause by the judgment-debtor or by some other person at his instigation or on his behalf, or by any transferee, where such transfer was made during the pendency of the suit or execution proceeding, it shall direct that the applicant be put into possession of the property, and where the applicant is still resisted or obstructed in obtaining possession, the Court may also, at the instance of the applicant, order the judgment-debtor, or any person acting at his instigation or on his behalf, to be detained in the civil prison for a term which may extend to thirty days.
Plain English Summary
Empowers the court, following Rule 101 adjudication, to grant possession to the decree-holder or auction purchaser, and punishes recalcitrant obstruction by the debtor, proxies, or lis pendens transferees with up to 30 days' civil imprisonment.
Key Legal Elements
- Final Adjudicatory Order: Grants actual possession or dismisses the obstruction complaint.
- Unjustified Resistance Overruled: Transferees during suit pendency or debtor's proxies evicted forthwith.
- Thirty Days Civil Detention (Sub-rule 2): Coercive prison detention for deliberate, contumacious obstruction.
- Decree Status under Rule 103: Order operates as a conclusive, appealable decree.
Practical Note
Jailing Obstructers under Rule 98(2): Where a judgment-debtor sets up domestic servants, relatives, or pendente lite buyers to block court bailiffs, invoke Rule 98(2). The court not only orders delivery of possession with full police force but commits the obstructers to civil prison for up to 30 days for abuse of process (Usha Sinha v. Dina Ram (2008) 7 SCC 144).
