When the petitioner files a petition to execute the order of maintenance and the opposite party fails to pay her as per prayer the Court at first issue Distress Warrant authorising the police officer to seize the moveable property and sel off to obtain the default amount. If thereafter the opposite party again fails to pay the amount the Court generally issue Arrest Warrant. However once the default amount is paid the arrest or distress warrant gets recalled.

My reply is no in the given quarry because the arresting officer of police has not been entrusted with the power to get executed the decree of the court rather he has to get arrested such accused/respondent/judgment debtor so there is no scope as asked.
