(1.) This revision petition raises for consideration a very interesting question of execution law.
(2.) The petitioner was defendant 2 in O. S. No. 139 of 1943 on the file of the District Munsif's Court of Manamadurai, defendant 1 his undivided lather having died after the institution of the suit. The suit was decreed on 21-8-1943. But even before this date the plaintiff had attached certain, moveable property belonging to defendant 2 and this was left in the custody of two persons who entered into a security bond to produce the moveables when called upon or to pay their value which was about Rs. 720-8-0.
(3.) The decree-holder then turned his attention to the judgment-debtor, defendant 2. E. P. No. 182 of 1946 was filed for attachment and sale of his immoveable properties and his properties were attached, on payment of Rs. 1010-8-11 on 16-7-1947 and of Rs. 500 on 26-8-1947 part satisfaction was entered and the sale was not proceeded with and the petition was dismissed on 19-9-1947. E. P. No. 125 of 1948 was the next execution petition.
