Order 41 Rule 5(5) - Deposit or Security as a Condition for Stay The appellate court requires a deposit or security for granting stay of execution in a money decree. This is a mandatory precondition, and the court has discretion to direct full or partial deposit, or furnish security of the decretal amount, to stay the decree's execution. ["2023 0 Supreme(Guj) 947"], ["2024 0 Supreme(Telangana) 376"], ["2025 Supreme(Online)(Cal) 2360"], ["2025 Supreme(Online)(Cal) 2474"], ["2025 Supreme(Online)(Cal) 2360"]
Withdrawal of Deposited Amount During First Appeal The rules generally restrict the decree-holder from withdrawing the deposited amount until the appeal is disposed of, unless specific orders are made. In some cases, courts permit the withdrawal of a part of the amount (e.g., Rs. 5 lakh or Rs. 30 lakh) without security, especially when justified by circumstances like business needs or long-standing practice. However, full withdrawal typically requires furnishing security, and the court's discretion plays a key role. ["2024 0 Supreme(Telangana) 376"], ["2025 0 Supreme(Cal) 72"], ["2025 Supreme(Online)(Cal) 2360"], ["2025 Supreme(Online)(Cal) 2474"], ["2021 0 Supreme(Cal) 309"]
Exemptions for Government or Special Cases Under certain provisions (e.g., Order 27 Rule 8A), government entities may be exempted from furnishing security for stay of execution, but this exemption is not absolute and depends on specific court orders. Similarly, courts may allow withdrawal of deposited amounts without security in exceptional cases, balancing the interests of parties. ["2023 Supreme(Online)(Guj) 1068"], ["2021 0 Supreme(Cal) 309"]
Guidance and Practical Approach Courts generally require security to protect the decree-holder's interests while allowing the appellant to withdraw some amount to meet urgent needs, subject to court approval. The deposit remains the property of the judgment debtor until the appeal's final disposal, after which the court may permit withdrawal, sometimes without security, depending on circumstances. ["2023 0 Supreme(Bom) 70"], ["2025 0 Supreme(Cal) 72"], ["2025 Supreme(Online)(Cal) 2360"]
Analysis and Conclusion:In a First Appeal against a money decree where security was deposited as per Order 41 Rule 5, the withdrawal of the deposited amount is subject to court discretion and specific conditions. Typically, the court mandates security to be furnished for the withdrawal, but in certain cases—such as urgent financial needs or long-standing practices—partial or full withdrawal without security may be permitted. The key is adherence to court orders and the court's evaluation of the security's necessity, with exemptions available for government entities under specific provisions.References:- CPC Order 41 Rules 1(3), 5(5), 6(2)- Supreme Court and High Court judgments on deposit and withdrawal procedures- Statutory provisions and judicial interpretations regarding security and withdrawal during stay of execution
