As per the proviso to Section 60 (1)(i) C.P.C., the total period of continuous attachment can be only 24 months and thereafter it is to be finally exempted from attachment in execution of that decree. Therefore, I direct the Munsiff's Court, Vaikom to look into the matter and if already 24 instalments are recovered then forthwith lift the attachment. In order to facilitate the Munsiff to look into the matter, I direct the 3rd respondent not to effect the attachment only after he gets further orders from the Munsiff's Court. Writ petition is disposed of as above. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE Cdp/- -:2:-
