JUDGMENT 1. The order of the District Court of 1st February, 1909, so far as it directed that the properties should be entrusted to the petitioner before it, was not an order authorised by any provision of the Civil Procedure Code. All that is said in Order 21, Rule 55, is that when a certain event has happened, the attachment should be deemed to have been withdrawn. If follows, therefore, that there was no resistance to the taking of property by the lawful authority of a public servant and no voluntary obstruction to a public servant in the discharge of his public functions, and, therefore, no offence under Section 183 or 186, Indian Penal Code. The sanction is set aside.
