Revision petitioner is<\/p>\n<p>the decree holder. The decree which is being executed is one<\/p>\n<p>passed in a suit for money. Before passing of the decree there<\/p>\n<p>was an interim attachment over an item of immovable<\/p>\n<p>property belonging to the defendant\/judgment debtor. That<\/p>\n<p>attachment, it is submitted, had been made absolute by the<\/p>\n<p>trial court before passing of the decree. In execution of the<\/p>\n<p>decree, when the decree holder proceeded for sale of that<\/p>\n<p>property and in fact at the stage after settling proclamation<\/p>\n<p>and publication and the property brought for sale, a third<\/p>\n<p>party moved an application claiming title over the property<\/p>\n<p>under Order XXI Rule 58 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The<\/p>\n<p>decree holder had resisted that application in which disputing<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">CRP.598\/04                      2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the claim raised by that third party, inter alia, it was<\/p>\n<p>contended that if at all there was a transfer, that transfer is a<\/p>\n<p>fraudulent transfer hit by Section 53 of the Transfer of<\/p>\n<p>Property Act as it had been effected by the transferee<\/p>\n<p>(defendant) to defeat his creditors. The learned Sub Judge,<\/p>\n<p>after considering the materials placed over the claim petition<\/p>\n<p>(E.A.No.21 of 2002) allowed the claim and lifted the<\/p>\n<p>attachment. While disposing of that claim petition in its order,<\/p>\n<p>the learned Sub Judge reserved the right of the decree holder<\/p>\n<p>to canvass his case that the transfer in favour of the claimant<\/p>\n<p>was vitiated as a fraudulent transfer under Section 53 of the<\/p>\n<p>Transfer of Properties Act in proper proceedings. Pursuant to<\/p>\n<p>that order, the decree holder moved an application E.A.No.82<\/p>\n<p>of 2003 seeking a declaration that the property over which the<\/p>\n<p>attachment subsisted, but, which had been lifted allowing the<\/p>\n<p>claim, was a fraudulent transfer covered by Section 53 of the<\/p>\n<p>Transfer of Property Act. In that application, the judgment<\/p>\n<p>debtor and also the claimant were made as the respondents.<\/p>\n<p>The 2nd respondent, the claimant, alone resisted that<\/p>\n<p>application filing objections in which among other contentions<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">CRP.598\/04                     3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the maintainability of the petition in the execution court was<\/p>\n<p>also challenged. The learned Sub Judge after considering the<\/p>\n<p>materials placed and hearing both sides dismissed the<\/p>\n<p>application of the decree holder, and that order is challenged<\/p>\n<p>in the revision.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>     2.   I heard the counsel on both sides.      The learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the decree holder relying on a number of judicial<\/p>\n<p>pronouncements rendered by this Court and also that of the<\/p>\n<p>apex court contended that the petition filed before the<\/p>\n<p>execution court seeking a declaration that a transfer effected<\/p>\n<p>by the judgment debtor is vitiated as a fraudulent transfer<\/p>\n<p>under Section 53 of the Transfer of Property Act is perfectly<\/p>\n<p>maintainable. To my query, the learned counsel for the decree<\/p>\n<p>holder submitted that such an application is maintainable<\/p>\n<p>under Order XXI Rule 58 (2) of the CPC. I cannot agree.<\/p>\n<p>Order XXI Rule 58 reads thus:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>          58.    Adjudication of claims to, or<br \/>\n          objections to attachment of, property:-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          (1) Where any claim is preferred to, or any<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">CRP.598\/04                     4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          objection is made to the attachment or, any<br \/>\n          property attached in execution of a decree<br \/>\n          on the ground that such property is not<br \/>\n          liable to such attachment, the Court shall<br \/>\n          proceed to adjudicate upon the claim or<br \/>\n          objection in accordance with the provisions<br \/>\n          herein contained:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                Provided that     no   such   claim  or<br \/>\n          objection shall be entertained-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                (a)   where, before the claim is<br \/>\n          preferred or objection is made the property<br \/>\n          attached has already been sold; or<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                (b)  where the Court considers that<br \/>\n          the claim or objection was designedly or<br \/>\n          unnecessarily delayed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          (2)    All questions (including questions<br \/>\n          relating to right, title or interest in the<br \/>\n          property attached) arising between the<br \/>\n          parties   to    a   proceeding     or   their<br \/>\n          representatives under this rule and relevant<br \/>\n          to the adjudication of the claim or objection,<br \/>\n          shall be determined by the Court dealing<br \/>\n          with the claim or objection and not by a<br \/>\n          separate suit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>                 (sub rules (3) to (5) are omitted<br \/>\n                 as not relevant)<\/p>\n<p>According to the counsel, the application moved by the decree<\/p>\n<p>holder is entertainable under sub rule (2) of Rule 58 of Order<\/p>\n<p>XXI of the CPC. True, that all questions relating to right, title<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">CRP.598\/04                      5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>or interest in the property attached as between the decree<\/p>\n<p>holder\/judgment debtor and also the claimant have to be<\/p>\n<p>decided when a claim petition is moved under Order XXI Rule<\/p>\n<p>58 of the CPC by a third party over a property which had been<\/p>\n<p>attached as if it belonged to the judgment debtor for<\/p>\n<p>satisfaction of the decree.       In fact, it is a triumvirate<\/p>\n<p>proceeding wherein the claimant, who have set up the claim<\/p>\n<p>over the attached property, the decree holder and judgment<\/p>\n<p>debtor are all necessary parties.       As between them the<\/p>\n<p>decision entered in that proceedings is conclusive and final<\/p>\n<p>and it is open to a challenge only in the manner provided by<\/p>\n<p>the Code. The order passed under Order XXI Rule 58 of the<\/p>\n<p>CPC is deemed to be a decree from which an appeal is<\/p>\n<p>provided.   Admittedly, in the claim petition moved by the<\/p>\n<p>claimant, an adjudication was made by the court as<\/p>\n<p>contemplated by the Rule and a decision had been entered<\/p>\n<p>upholding the right, title and interest of the claimant over the<\/p>\n<p>property, with the result the attachment was lifted.        The<\/p>\n<p>disposal of the claim petition by the order of the court which is<\/p>\n<p>deemed to be a decree remains unchallenged by the decree<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">CRP.598\/04                      6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>holder. The arguments canvassed by the learned counsel that<\/p>\n<p>after the disposal of such petition in view of the observations<\/p>\n<p>made by the execution court that his right to challenge the<\/p>\n<p>transfer effected in favour of the claimant was vitiated by<\/p>\n<p>fraud as under Section 53 of the Transfer of Properties Act<\/p>\n<p>can be considered and adjudicated upon under sub rule (2) of<\/p>\n<p>Rule 58 of Order XXI of the CPC is meritless since that rule is<\/p>\n<p>applicable only in adjudication of a claim petition. Order XXI<\/p>\n<p>of the CPC does not confer any right on a decree holder nay to<\/p>\n<p>any other person to call upon the execution court to determine<\/p>\n<p>the proprietary title of the judgment debtor over any property<\/p>\n<p>belonging to him whether it is vitiated as a fraudulent transfer<\/p>\n<p>or otherwise. If at all the decree holder has any such case, it<\/p>\n<p>is for him to challenge it by way of a separate suit as provided<\/p>\n<p>by law. Whether such a suit is entertainable in respect of a<\/p>\n<p>property under attachment, after a decision is entered in a<\/p>\n<p>proceeding under Order XXI Rule 58 of the CPC, which I have<\/p>\n<p>already pointed out is a triumvirate proceeding, wherein the<\/p>\n<p>judgment debtor is also a party, is a different question to be<\/p>\n<p>considered, over which I am not expressing any opinion in the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">CRP.598\/04                     7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>present case.   The dismissal of the petition moved by the<\/p>\n<p>decree holder by the court below, in the above circumstances,<\/p>\n<p>does not suffer from any infirmity, leave alone jurisdictional<\/p>\n<p>infirmity, and hence the revision is dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>                           S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN<br \/>\n                                        JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>prp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Siby Mani vs P.C.Thomas on 15 March, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM CRP.No. 598 of 2004() 1.
