The correct answer is (c), cheques.
Under the Civil Procedure Code, 1908, a decree is a final order of a court that has the force of law. A decree can be for the payment of money, the delivery of property, or the performance of an act.
When a decree is made, the court may order that the property of the judgment debtor be attached. Attachment is a process by which the court takes possession of the property of the judgment debtor in order to satisfy the debt.
The following are the properties that can be attached in execution of a decree:
- Land
- Buildings
- Movable property, such as cars, furniture, and jewellery
- Bank accounts
- Shares in companies
- Copyrights, patents, and trademarks
Cheques are not included in this list because they are not considered to be property. A cheque is a document that orders a bank to pay money to a third party. It is not a physical object that can be seized by the court.
However, if the judgment debtor has money in their bank account, the court can order the bank to freeze the account. This means that the judgment debtor will not be able to withdraw any money from the account.
The court can also order the bank to pay the money in the account to the judgment creditor. This is known as a garnishment order.
In conclusion, the correct answer is (c), cheques. Cheques are not considered to be property and cannot be attached in execution of a decree.
