Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh borrowed ₹5,00,000 from Suresh and failed to repay the amount despite multiple reminders. Suresh filed a civil suit, and the court passed a decree ordering Rajesh to pay the amount along with interest and legal costs. Rajesh still did not comply with the court's order. Suresh then applied for the execution of the decree. The court issued a warrant for Rajesh's arrest. The warrant directed the police officer to arrest Rajesh and bring him before the court as soon as possible unless Rajesh paid the total amount due, including interest and costs, before the arrest.

Example 2:

Meena won a civil case against her former business partner, Anil, who was ordered by the court to pay ₹2,00,000 along with interest and legal costs. Anil ignored the court's decree and did not make any payments. Meena approached the court for execution of the decree. The court issued a warrant for Anil's arrest. The warrant instructed the police officer to arrest Anil and present him before the court promptly unless Anil paid the full amount, including interest and costs, before being taken into custody.
