Civil Procedure Code (CPC) 1908 Judgment and Decree

Sub-section (4) of the s. 55 of the Code of Civil Procedure provides that if the judgment-debtor fails to apply or to appear:

The court may direct the security to be realised

The court may commit the judgment-debtor to prison

either (A) or (B)

None of these

- Option 1: The court may direct the security to be realised.

- This means that if the judgment-debtor has not applied or appeared, the court can choose to enforce the security provided as a surety or bond.

- Option 2: The court may commit the judgment-debtor to prison.

- If the judgment-debtor does not comply or fails to appear, the court has the authority to imprison them as a consequence of non-compliance.

- Option 3: Either (A) or (B).

- This provides flexibility to the court to either realise the security or imprison the judgment-debtor based on the circumstances of the case.

- This is the correct interpretation of sub-section (4) of s. 55.

- Option 4: None of these.

- This suggests that neither realising security nor imprisonment is possible, but this is incorrect given the provisions.
