Security in case of order for execution of decree appealed from
Full Text
(1) Where an order is made for the execution of a decree from which an appeal is pending, the Court which passed the decree shall, on sufficient cause being shown by the appellant, require security to be taken for the restitution of any property which may be or has been taken in execution of the decree or for the payment of the value of such property and for the due performance of the decree or order of the Appellate Court, or the Appellate Court may for like cause direct the Court which passed the decree to take such security.
(2) Where an order has been made for the sale of immovable property in execution of a decree, and an appeal is pending from such decree, the sale shall, on the application of the judgment-debtor to the Court which made the order, be stayed on such terms as to giving security or otherwise as the Court thinks fit until the appeal is disposed of.
Plain English Summary
Protects the judgment-debtor during pending appeals by requiring restitution security from the executing decree-holder, and mandates staying the court auction sale of immovable property upon application on suitable security terms.
Key Legal Elements
- Restitution Security from Decree-Holder: Ensures that if appellant succeeds, property or its monetary value can be smoothly restored under Section 144 CPC.
- Mandatory Stay of Immovable Property Sale (Sub-rule 2): If an appeal is pending against the decree, court 'shall' stay the auction sale of immovable property upon application.
- Terms and Security: The stay of sale is conditioned upon judgment-debtor furnishing solvent security or terms.
- Dual Forum Competence: Can be moved before the executing trial court or the appellate court.
Practical Note
Mandatory Stay of Sale of Immovable Property: 1. Crucial Protection Under Sub-rule (2): While Rule 5 gives discretionary stay, Order XLI Rule 6(2) creates a mandatory obligation: where immovable property is put up for sale in execution and an appeal is pending against that decree, the executing court *shall* stay the auction sale upon the judgment-debtor's application, subject to terms regarding security. 2. Irreversible Harm Avoidance: Selling immovable property at a public auction creates third-party rights which are difficult to reverse even after successful appeal; Rule 6(2) halts the hammer until the appeal is determined.
