Petitioners' salaries are under attachment for a long period. According to the petitioners attachment of their salaries are subject to the ceiling provided under Section 60(1)(i) of the CPC. Since Section 80 of the RR Act provides for attachment of salary subject to ceiling provided under Section 60(1)(i) of CPC, there will be direction to the employers of the petitioners to limit the attachment subject to the ceiling provided therein. However, KSFE is free to proceed against the properties of principal debtor and guarantors. W.P. is disposed of as above. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge 2
