It would be apposite to refer to some of the provisions of the CPC which provides a procedure for executing a decree and have been relied upon by the learned counsel for the Petitioner / Judgment Debtor and the same is extracted here under to answer the issue raised by the counsel for the petitioner: 4. Under Rule 64 of Order XXI : Power to order property attached to be sold and proceeds to be paid to person entitled : Any Court executing a decree may order that any property attached by it and liable to sale, or such portion thereof as may see necessary to satisfy the decree, shall be sold, and that the proceeds of such sale, or a sufficient portion thereof, shall be paid to the party entitled under the decree to receive the same. 3 r ; Proclamation of sales by Under Rule 66 of Order XXI public auction. - (1) Where any property is ordered to be sold by public auction in execution of a decree, the Court shall cause of the intended sale to be made in the a proclamation language of such Court. shall be draw up after notice to the (2) Such proclamation decree-holder and the judgment-debtor and shall state of sale, and specify as fairly and the time and place accurately as possible- be sold [or, where a part of the would be sufficient to satisfy the decree, such the Code of Civil Procedure (a) the property to property part] [Inserted by (Amendment) Act, 1976, Section 72, (w.e.f 1.2.1977).]-, the estate, where the interest in an estate or in part (b) the revenue assessed upon property to be sold is of an estate paying revenue to the Government; an encumbrance to which the property is liable; of which the sale is (c) any (d) the amount for the recovery ordered; and stated (i) by the (e)the value of the property as decree-holder, and (ii) by the judgment-debtor: [Provided that where notice of the date for settling the terms of the proclamation judgment-debtor by means of an has been given to the order under rule 54, it f shall not be necessary to give notice under this rule to the judgment-debtor unless the Court otherwise directs; Provided further that nothing in this rule shall be construed as requiring the Court to enter in the proclamation of sale its own estimate of the value of the property, but the proclamation shall include the estimate if any, given, by either or both of the parties.] [Inserted by the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 1976, Section 12, (w.e.f. 1.2.1977).] (3) Every application for an order for sale under this rule shall be accompanied by a statement signed and verified in the manner hereinbefore prescribed for the signing and verification of pleadings and containing, so far as they are known to or can be ascertained by the person making the verification, the matters required by sub-rule (2) to be specified in the proclamation. (4) For the purpose of ascertaining the matters to be specified in the proclamation, the Court may whom it thinks necessary to summon and summon any person may examine him in respect to any such matters and document in his require him to produce any possession or power relating thereto. 5 Rule 54 of Order XXI : reads thus: "54. Attachment of immovable properly- 5. (1) Where the property is immovable, the attachment shall be made by an order prohibiting the judgment-debtor from transferring or charging the property in any way, and all persons from taking any benefit from such transfer or charge. (1A) The order shall also require the judgment-debtor to attend Court on a specified date to take notice of the date to be fixed for settling the terms of the proclamation of sale." Court refers the following provision: Section 51: Powers of Court to enforce execution:- Subject to such conditions and limitations as may be prescribed, the Court may, on the application of the decree- holder, order execution of the decree- (a) by delivery of any property specifically decreed; (b) by attachment and sale or by sale without attachment of any property; (c) by arrest and detention in prison; (d) by appointing a receiver; or (e) in such other manner as the nature of the relief granted may require. 6. 6 t 7. Attachment is a process in execution but does not itself constitute execution. A bare perusal of the section 51 (b) of CPC that provides that the Court, on the application of the decree- holder, order execution for enforce of the decree - by attachment and sale or by sale without attachment of any property. That attachment only operates as a valid prohibition against alienation of the attached property, mere non-attachment of the property that it would not cause any substantial injury to the revision petitioner. Section is substantive law, rules made are procedural, because it regulates the manner in which substantive rights be enforced by judicial action. Under section 51(b) of CPC the court can sale the property without attachment. an can 8. The revision petitioner in the execution proceedings argued that he does not have a right of title to the property included in the execution schedule. On the admission of the revision petitioner, who is the judgment debtor, the execution court made a categorical finding that the petitioner is the owner of the property, despite the petitioner/J.Dr.'s false defence taken by petitioner. the 9. In view of the above discussion, this Court comes to the irresistible conclusion that the present revision is filed 7 r mischievously to delay the proceedings and under Section 51(b) of CPC, the Court can sale the property without attachment, the revision petition is lacks merit and accordingly stands dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, interlocutory applications, if any pending in this Civil Revision Petition shall stand closed.
