Mode of making attachment

Full Text

Save as otherwise expressly provided, the attachment shall be made in the manner provided for the attachment of property in execution of a decree.

Plain English Summary

Applies the statutory modalities of execution attachment under Order XXI (Rules 43 to 54) mutatis mutandis to attachment before judgment.

Key Legal Elements

  • Incorporation of Order XXI Procedures: Immovable property attached by prohibitory order under Order XXI Rule 54.
  • Movable Property Attachment: Seizure under Order XXI Rule 43; debts/shares under Order XXI Rule 46.
  • Mandatory Proclamation: Prohibitory order must be proclaimed by beat of drum and affixed on the property and court notice board.
  • Defective Attachment: Failure to follow Order XXI formalities renders the attachment ineffective against subsequent transferees.

Practical Note

Execution Modalities Apply in Full Rigour: 1. Compliance with Order XXI Rule 54: To effect a valid attachment before judgment of immovable property, a formal prohibitory order must be passed, proclaimed by beat of drum or customary mode, and physically affixed upon a conspicuous part of the property and court house. A mere office order without physical affixation on the land does not create a lawful attachment. 2. Effect on Third Parties: Until proclamation and registration in accordance with Order XXI Rule 54, third-party purchasers without notice are not bound.
