Jds bank account details

(Querist) 02 April 2013 This query is : Resolved 
Dear Expert,
Need your valuable advice..

In a money recovery suit, we are the Decree holder. The Judgement Debtor company is locked and stopped its operations. Remained exparte in the entire proceedings. We are finding difficulties in executing the decree.

We heard that it has some cash amount in its bank but we dont know which bank, account number and other details.

Can we seek direction from the court to disclose its bank account details for attachment? If yes, then under which provision?

secondly, if the court passed such order and the JD failed to comply can we seek contempt process against Director?

"Can we seek direction from the court to disclose its bank account details for attachment? If yes, then under which provision?

secondly, if the court passed such order and the JD failed to comply can we seek contempt process against Director? "

Answer:When everything is running exparte it would not be possible.

Act as advised by Mr.Sethi.

If you dont know any immovable property of that company, filing further litigation shall be just a wastage of money and energy.

Under Order XXI, Rule 41(2) a Judgment-debtor is expected to file Affidavit of Assets,then if he is served,you can seek by application but you told case is going on exparte then how would it serve your purpose
was and is still in my mind?
AAK (Querist) 08 April 2013
Mr.Prabhakarji i was thinking to obtain such direction from court and on failure by the JD to comply with the order, we should initiate the contempt process by filing application u/s 151 CPC... is it possible?
Devajyoti Barman (Expert) 08 April 2013
