CPC Section 67 — Power for State Government to make rules as to sales of land in execution of decrees for payment of money
Civil
Summary
A State Government can create special rules for selling land to recover money owed under a court order, but only in areas where the type of land interest is so unclear or uncertain that its value cannot be fixed. If such rules already existed in an area when this Code came into effect, the State Government can either keep them as they are or change them, and must publish the rules in the official government notice. Any new rule made under this section must be presented to the State Legislature as soon as possible after it is made.
Official Text
(1) The State Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, make rules for any local area imposing conditions in respect of the sale of any class of interests in land in execution of decrees for the payment of money, where such interest are so uncertain or undetermined as, in the opinion of the State Government, to make it impossible to fix their value.
(2) When on the date on which this Code came into operation in any local area, any special rules as to sale of land in execution of decrees were in force therein, the State Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette declare such rules to be in force, or may by a like notification, modify the same. Every notification issued in the exercise of the powers conferred by this sub-section shall set out the rules so continued or modified.
(3) Every rule made under this section shall be laid, as soon as may be after it is made, before the State Legislature.
