Procedure Section
TRANSFEREES AND LEGAL
REPRESENTATIVES
49. Transferee.—Every
transferee of a decree shall hold the same subject to the equities (if any)
which the judgment-debtor might have enforced against the original
decree-holder.
50. Legal representative.—(1)
Where a judgment-debtor dies before the decree has been fully satisfied, the
holder of the decree may apply to the Court which passed it to execute the same
against the legal
representative of the
deceased.
(2) Where the decree is
executed against such legal representative, he shall be liable only to the
extent of the property of the deceased which has come to his hands and has not
been duly disposed of; and, for the purpose of ascertaining such liability, the
Court executing the decree may, of its own motion or on the application of the
decree-holder, compel such legal representative to produce such accounts as it
thinks fit.
