Distress warrant
Harish Doulatramani
(Querist) 21 August 2024
This query is : Resolved
My name is Harish Doulatramani from Mumbai
I have filed an appeal against an interim maintenance order passed by the MMC
I want to understand can a distress warrant be passed if I am unable to pay any amount towards arrears created due to the interim maintenance order on the next hearing?
And what kind of orders can be passed if I cannot comply with the IM order passed ?
Can I be sent to jail ? I am self employed so can my bank account be attached ? Can my property be attached and auctioned to recover the arrears ?

if the maintenance is not paid a distress warrant should be issued for the realization of the dues.
If distress warrant is issued then the property on the name of the respondent also can be attached towards security for the arrears of maintenance amount
