Civil Procedure Code - Modes of Execution of Decree

First, what does execution even mean ?

In simplest term, it means enforcement of what is asked in a decree. 

Decree is defined in Section 2(2). Decree determines the rights of the parties with regard to all or any of the matter in controversy in the suit.

Once decree decides some right, that right should actually accrue to a person in whose favor decree is passed. i.e Decree holder. Execution enforces such decision and give the decree holder what he deserve as per decree.

Summary of Execution of Decree

Part II and Order 21 comprehensively deals with execution of decree. Part II contains 39 section whereas Order 21 contains 106 Rules. This is altogether like one Act. Like Execution of Decree Act..!! 

 Important things under this are summarized as below:

Now let's understand the modes of execution

Section 51- Powers of court to enforce the execution

It talks about the execution. It provides for methods which court can use to enforce the decree.

 Below are thing which court can do to enforce the decree or to carry out the execution

Mode when decree contains payment of money 

Payment of money can be enforce in below way:

When decree is for movable property ?

What is movable/immovable should be understood from Transfer of Property Act, 1882. 

When decree is related to movable property, the execution of such decree can be carried out in four different ways. This is provided in Order 21, Rule 31.

When decree is for immovable property ?

Their is only one way to enforce such decree. Possession!!

Possession could be single. Or joint possession. In case it is joint possession we should let know other person that we are going to be with him.

 R 36 Provides that when property in question is with tenants, we should let them know about the decree and possession.

 When decree is for restitution of conjugal rights/injunction?

Suppose Harry and Sajal are married. They fought over "who should switch off cylinder before sleeping". Now they are staying separate. Harry went to court for decree of restitution of conjugal rights. How such decree should be enforce ?

Or if court have passed decree of injunction, how such decree should be enforce ?

Well, Order 21, Rule 31 to the rescue

When decree is against corporation ?

Corporation is legal fiction. It's not real person. So how should the decree be enforce.

Generally directors/board members are taken into detention. Also property of firm is attached to execute such decrees.

When decree is for execution of document ?

If court asks to execute a document to judgment debtor, and judgment debtor resist such execution. Rule 34 provides for execution of document decree.

 Below are steps by which document is executed.

When decree is for endorsement of negotiable instrument ?

This is executed similar to execution of document.

Legal History-Madras Settlement (1639-1726)

Francis Day got piece of land from Hindu king for the East India Company in 1639. East India Company got a town named as "Madraspatanam". (Don't tell this to UP CM Yogi, or else he will rename Madras). British Established fortified factory were Englishmen would stay. Till 1665, Madras was subordinate to Surat. Now town was divided into two divisions.

Privileges and Immunities to Administration in Suits

Introduction You know government can enter into contracts. Government can start some business. It mean government can sue other people, or you can sue the government. Before you initiate a legal proceedings against government, or even after legal proceedings are initiated, there are some relaxations to government.( OK, we will use Government/Administration as per our discretion interchangeably in this post, but they will mean the same ). So, it might happen that to prove something you may need a document or evidence, but government may be given exemption to produce evidence in that regard.

This is scary, as many times government in power just accuses people of sedition who opposes their ideas/policies, and put oppone...

Internal Aids What is internal aids? It's some reference in the act itself which helps to decipher the meaning of the legislature or law makers.We have around 700 MPs, 4000 MLA's which keeps on making on law. What exactly they want to signify ?  For example, if the current government make law that will allow Hindu migrant to be citizens and deny citizens to Muslim migrants will such law be valid ? Can Supreme Court refer to preamble wherein it is mention that we are secular and invalidate such law? Some techniques of interpretation helps out in such situation. Internal aids is one of such technique. It includes many tools like title, heading, preamble, illustration, explanation etc. There is not straight rule either about these techniques.
