JUDGMENT Allsop, J. - This is an appeal against an order dismissing an application for execution of a decree by attachment and sale of certain property. When the property was attached, an objector came into Court and said that the property was his because he had acquired it at a sale held for the purpose of recovering Government dues. It is true that the property was attached in pursuance of this application before the sale took place, but it is not contended that the Government dues did not have a prior claim. The sale, therefore, in favour of the objector was a perfectly good one and as the property became his, it could not be sold in execution of this decree against another person. Learned Counsel has argued that the objection might be allowed and (sic) his application for execution should not be dismissed because he will now be barred by limitation from making any further application for execution of the decree in tome other way. It seems to me that his argument is based on a wrong assumption that there is some general application for the execution of a decree and that the various steps in aid of execution are subsidiary thereto. This presumption is not justifiable. There is no such thing as an application for execution of a decree-properly-so-called. There is an application for the attachment and sale of certain property in execution of a decree or an application for the arrest of the judgment-debtor in execution of a decree or an application asking the Court to take some other steps. If, on objection taken, it is found by the Court that the steps mentioned in the particular application cannot be taken, it must follow that the application must be dismissed. Learned Counsel says that the Court might have allowed the objection and not dismissed the application in which case he might have been allowed to amend the application so as to execute the decree by some other means. The Court has not allowed him to amend the application and speaking for myself I think it would have been quite wrong to allow him to do so that is, in effect to present a new application merely by amending the old one when the presentation of a new application was barred by limitation. 2. There is no force in this appeal and I dismiss it. 2. There is no force in this appeal and I dismiss it. I pass no orders for costs as the opposite party has not appeared.
