JUDGMENT : Richards, J. In granting the sanction for prosecution the District Judge has proceeded on an erroneous view of the law. It is admitted that the assignment of the decree was in law wholly ineffectual as against the decree-holders who had attached the debt. Every fact that has been alleged is entirely consistent with innocence, in fact, I may say more consistent with innocence than guilt. 2. The judgment-debtor had sold a decree for a large amount for considerably less than half its amount in cash. There is nothing whatever in law to prevent a judgment-debtor from disposing of his interest such as it may be in an attached debt. The Court has no right to presume a fraudulent intent because a person does what he is legally entitled to do. In my opinion the decision of the Subordinate Judge of Cawnpore was quite correct; the order of the District Judge must be set aside. 3. Sanction quashed.
