Execution of decree

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 18 November 2011 This query is : Resolved 
Sir,

My co. have filed a civil suit for recovery of deposit amount from one Company. the Defendant co. after service of summons, failed and neglected to present before the Hon'ble court to defend themselves. the matter therefore proceeded Ex-parte. we have got the certified copy of ex-parte order and decree.

kindly tell me what is the next steps to execute the decree. My company is situated at Mumbai and the defendant Co. having their regd. office at Punjab and we do not have any information about movable and immovable property of the defendant co.

Pl. do the needful.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Author
get the Transfer certificate from the court and file execution petition in Punjab before the hon'ble court as per the jurisdiction. if you wanna know about the property then you can hire any Advocate here and investigate/enquiry about the property of the Company through SRO, Authorities.

before taking further steps find whether defendant company is solvent . if company has any assets then only proceed for eexecution .
find out whether compnay has moveable and immoveable properties .

you have to make an application for execution in mumbai . decree will be tarnsferred to punjab for attachment of the defendant property

Did not you engaged a lawyer to conduct your case?

If do not know your Judgement Debtor's properties then how you expect experts at LCI

The execration proceed where JD'S properties lie,for that Decree Holder applies before court who passed the decree to transfer the decree for execution in jurisdiction properties of JD lies.

Where the decree is passed?

If you wish to attach the property in execution of decree which is situated beyond its jurisdiction then you have to get the decree transferred.

But if you wish to proceed for civil imprisonment of the judgement holder then you can file the execution where the decree is granted.
