The issuance of an arrest warrant against a judgment debtor must follow due process, including a proper application stating grounds for arrest, as mandated by relevant CPC provisions.
Arrest of a judgment-debtor for non-payment requires evidence of bad faith or willful neglect, and other execution methods must be considered first.
Arrest of a judgment-debtor in civil proceedings requires strict adherence to procedural safeguards and evidence of willful neglect to pay.
Arrest warrants against judgment debtors cannot be issued without exhausting property execution options as mandated by CPC; reasoned orders are essential in judicial decisions.
The burden lies on the decree-holder to prove that the judgment-debtor has the means to pay the decretal amount and is willfully evading payment, following the procedures laid out in the CPC.
Amendments to execution petitions may correct defects; simultaneous execution against debtor's person and property allowed under judicial discretion per CPC.
