https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=460024 Section 39(4) of the Code of Civil Procedure does not bar an executing court from examining a judgment-debtor or its officers under Order 21, Rule 41 and directing disclosure of assets, even if those persons reside outside territorial jurisdiction. Such examination and affidavit-based disclosure are investigative steps, not execution of the decree itself, and are permissible where they are aimed at identifying property within jurisdiction for later execution. The territorial restriction applies only to execution against a person or property outside local limits, so the court remained competent to make the disclosure direction. en-us Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 08 Jan 2025 17:15:48 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=460024 Section 39(4) of the Code of Civil Procedure does not bar an executing court from examining a judgment-debtor or its officers under Order 21, Rule 41 and directing disclosure of assets, even if those persons reside outside territorial jurisdiction.
