More so, neither any enquiry was conducted nor opportunity of leading evidence was given by the Court below. The Executing Court has also ignored the view taken by Hon'ble Supreme Court in Jolly George Varghese and another Vs. The Bank of Cochin, 1980 AIR(SC) 470, wherein the Hon'ble Apex Court observed that no person shall be deprived of his life and liberty except according to the procedure established by law. Therefore, the impugned order is vague. The Judgment Debtor does not own any property and he is unemployed. His services were terminated. More so, he is not absconding from the jurisdiction of the Court. His application to file appeal as an indigent person was accepted by Additional District Judge, Bhatinda vide order dated 8.5.2012 [Annexure P/3], but the Court below has completely ignored all these facts while passing the order under challenge.
