IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CMPMO No.357 of 2011 Date of decision : September 28, 2011 S.R. Thakur and another …Petitioners. Versus State Bank of Patiala …Respondent. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Surjit Singh, Judge. Whether approved for reporting?1 For the Petitioners : Mr. R.S. Chandel, Advocate. For the Respondent : None. Surjit Singh, Judge(Oral) Heard and gone through the record. 2. Petitioners are aggrieved by the order dated 9th May, 2011 of the Executing Court, whereby, in the proceedings for execution of a decree, passed in favour of the respondent-Bank, salary of petitioner No.1 has been ordered to be attached and at the same time property of petitioner No.2, which was mortgaged as security for re- payment of loan, has also been attached. Prayer has been made by the petitioners that when the property, mortgaged with the respondent-Bank, has been attached, it can be sold to recover the decretal amount and the salary of petitioner No.1 may not be attached, as the children of the petitioners are studying in some college at Chandigarh and their expenditure is met out of the salary of petitioner No.1. Petitioner No.1 is the husband of Whether reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? …2… petitioner No.2. Loan was raised from the respondent- Bank for construction of house on the mortgaged property. Property is registered in the name of petitioner No.2, the wife of petitioner No.1. Liability of both the petitioners to satisfy the decree is joint and several. Mere fact that the children of petitioner No.1 are studying in a college at Chandigarh and the said petitioner is remitting them money, out of his salary, is no excuse for not attaching the salary in execution of decree. Otherwise also, a portion of the salary would be attached, as per requirement of law and not the whole of it. I find no merit in the petition. Hence, the same is dismissed. Petition stands disposed of. Pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of. September 28, 2011(sd) ( Surjit Singh ), J
