About this Act
An Act to consolidate and amend the laws relating to the procedure of the Courts of Civil Judicature.
Where the Court is satisfied that the holder of a decree for the
possession of immovable property or that the purchaser of immovable property sold in execution of a
decree has been resisted or obstructed in obtaining possession of the property by the judgment-debtor or
some person on his behalf and that such resistance or obstruction was without any just cause, the Court
may, at the instance of the decree-holder or purchaser, order the judgment-debtor or such other person to
be detained in the civil prison for a term which may extend to thirty days and may further direct that the
decree-holder or purchaser be put into possession of the property.
