Suppose if the defendants fail to furnish the security and the Judge grants attachment for movables. Will the attachment takes place right after the order or only after the completion of the original suit.Please clarify thanks all.
‘An attachment before judgment is to enable the plaintiff to realize the amount of the decree, supposing a decree eventually made, from the defendant property’. This is the object of the Order 38 rule 5 of The Civil Procedure Code,1908 (herein after referred as CPC). See. Ganu Singh Vs Jangi Lal, 26 C 531. The scope and object of Order 38 rule 5 of CPC and the rules followed thereon merely to protect a plaintiff against loss arising from the defendant making away with his property pending suit. An attachment before judgment is in the nature of an interlocutory order. In Gurunadha Rao v. Gamini Krishnayya, a Division Bench of the Hon’ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh held that to be valid an attachment must be specific and clear in its purport.
The power given to the Court to attach a deft.’s property before judgment, is never meant to be exercised lightly or without clear proof of the existence of the mischief aimed at in the rule.
