Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh, a businessman in Mumbai, lost a civil lawsuit and was ordered by the court to pay ₹10 lakhs to the plaintiff, Suresh. Rajesh failed to comply with the court's order. Suresh then filed for execution of the decree. The court issued an order to attach Rajesh's movable property to recover the amount. The court-appointed officer went to Rajesh's office and seized office equipment, including computers, printers, and furniture. The officer kept these items in a secure storage facility under his supervision. Since these items were not perishable and their storage cost was reasonable, they were kept in custody until further court orders.

Example 2:

Meena, a resident of Delhi, was ordered by the court to pay ₹5 lakhs to her creditor, Anil, after losing a civil case. Meena did not pay the amount, so Anil sought execution of the decree. The court directed the attachment of Meena's movable property. The court officer went to Meena's house and seized her jewelry and electronic gadgets. However, among the seized items were some fresh fruits and vegetables that Meena had bought for her business. Since these items were perishable and would decay quickly, the officer decided to sell them immediately at the local market. The proceeds from the sale were then held in custody to be used towards satisfying the court's decree.
