documents to be provided and what steps to follow post filing application

Order 21 of the Code of Civil Procedure deals with the solemn act of execution of the decrees passed by the Courts from grassroots to the top.

After the judgment attains finality or where there is no stay in the execution by any Appellate or Revisional Court, it is the Court of original jurisdiction which performs this sacred act of implementation of the execution.

Execution has to be filed against the judgement debtor.

You have to search and file in the court the present address of the JD, details / reference of his movable / immovable property to be attached.

Otherwise, decree is of no use.

Appreciate any detail inputs on both the above query.

Thanks & Regards

No one can help in searching the JDs. You yourself have to try.

Court may declare him P O if he is not appearing in criminal proceedings.
Stephen (Querist) 05 November 2020
Dear Sirs,

Thanks for your reply.

I am aware I have to be self-reliant to search details of JD. However as a layman, I am seeking clarification what next steps I can expect at city civil court and also since the defendant is on 3 times NBW what does it mean court may declare him as P O. Appreciate if you give some insight and help in these legal aspects

Thanks

You can try searching JD through Facebook, WhatsApp. Voter list is online if you get some inference search voter list of that place.

Try to get information through his relatives.

Which type of criminal case Is? if it is case of cheating or forgery of documents the Judgment of Civil Court may be useful to you. You yourself is to trace the Judgment debtor. Court are ready to help you up to next 12 years from Judgment but No court will search the JD for you. If you have address of him court will sent summons there. IN such a case you can publish notice in News paper. After that the court will ask for property list. If you have no property list of him, you can sent him to jail at your own expenditure. For this, again you are to search him. Lastly if there is no property of the JD it is of no use to trace the JD. In such a case it is better to forget the Judgment and pray the God to furnish the JD with a lot of money and wealth.
Stephen (Querist) 13 November 2020
Dear Sir,

Many thanks for giving detail clarification on civil suit side of court aspects. To clarify your query based on the chargesheet 420b created by police, the criminal side of case has been filed. Therefore though I am trying to trace JD address and any assets, meanwhile was trying to ascertain from the experts like your would the civil suit judgement and decree can be used to progress criminal case and what aspects of if I need be aware and expect PP to help the case progress.

Would be indebted if could give you kind expert advice.

Thanks & Regards
