Order XXI Rule 22 CPC | Staged Deposit of Arrears Under Settlement Bars Immediate Delivery Warrant: Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court has ruled that where a judgment debtor demonstrates genuine intent to comply with a settlement by offering to deposit rent arrears in installments, issuing a delivery warrant is disproportionate. This sets a new standard for execution courts: coercive measures must yield to structured compliance, protecting debtors who act in good faith while safeguarding decree holders' rights through phased payment.
