LAWS(P&H)-1989-11-120
HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA
Decided on November 15,1989

GURNAM SINGH Appellant
VERSUS
BANT SINGH Respondents

JUDGEMENT

- (1.) The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the execution application was dismissed as withdrawn. Resultantly, the attachment of the tractor ceased when the execution application was dismissed as withdrawn. The Superdar ought to have been directed to hand over the tractor to the judgment debtor. The executing Court acted illegally in issuing notice to the decree-holder for January 24, 1990. The notice was issued in ignorance of the mandatory provisions of Order 21, Rule 57 sub-rule (2) of the Code of Civil Procedure. Sub-rule (2) of Rule 57 of Order 21 envisages that when an execution application is dismissed, the attachment shall be deemed to have ceased unless the Court directs otherwise. In the instant case, the Court when dismissed the execution application, did not issue any directions that attachment has not to lapse. Resultantly, I direct the Superdar to hand over the tractor o the judgment-debtor against a valid receipt. The Superdar will file the receipt in Court. This petition is disposed of accordingly.;
