Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh won a civil lawsuit against Suresh, and the court ordered Suresh to pay Rajesh Rs. 5 lakhs. Suresh, however, did not comply with the court's order. Rajesh then filed for execution of the decree to recover the amount. Rajesh requested the court to simultaneously seize Suresh's property and arrest him until the payment is made. The court, exercising its discretion under Rule 21, decided to only proceed with the seizure of Suresh's property and refused to order his arrest at the same time. The court believed that seizing the property would be sufficient to ensure compliance with the decree.

Example 2:

Meena obtained a court decree against her tenant, Ravi, for unpaid rent amounting to Rs. 1 lakh. When Ravi failed to pay, Meena sought execution of the decree. She requested the court to both attach Ravi's bank account and detain him in civil prison. The court, considering the circumstances, chose to only attach Ravi's bank account and refused to detain him simultaneously. The court reasoned that attaching the bank account would likely compel Ravi to settle the debt without the need for detention.
