A Practical Approach To 19 Modes Of Execution Of Decrees & Orders Under CPC,1908, 1st Edition 2026-by Kandharkar’s

The Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), 1908, provides several ways (modes) to execute decrees, primarily under Section 51 and Order XXI, including delivery of property, attachment and sale of property, arrest and detention of the judgment debtor, and appointment of a receiver, with courts choosing the appropriate method (monetary, possession, specific performance) to ensure tangible relief for the decree-holder, balancing enforcement with debtor protection.
Here’s a practical approach to understanding these modes:
Core Principles :
Purpose: To give actual effect to a court’s order, transforming a judgment into reality for the winning party (decree-holder).
Governing Rules: Mainly Section 51 & Order XXI of CPC.
Discretion: Courts use discretion to select the best mode, considering the decree type and case specifics.
