Effect of such warrant
AI Assist
Summary
A court's warrant can be executed within that court's local jurisdiction. It may also permit attachment and sale of property located outside that jurisdiction, but only if the District Magistrate where the property is found endorses the warrant. With that endorsement, out‑of‑area attachment and sale become valid.
Example
Priya obtains a warrant from her local court to recover money from Karan. The court can execute it inside its area, and if Karan's shop is in another district the warrant can authorize attachment and sale of that shop only if the District Magistrate of that district endorses the warrant.
