Order XLVII Rule 1 CPC | Arrest Stayed in Civil Execution Pending Restoration of Dismissed Appeal : Punjab & Haryana HC

The Punjab & Haryana High Court has ruled that coercive arrest warrants in civil execution proceedings cannot issue while a restoration application under Order XLVII Rule 1 CPC is pending, affirming that natural justice requires adjudication of curative remedies before enforcement. This protects debtors from premature punitive action while their right to appeal is being reconsidered.
