A mortgagee obtains a decree for payment of money on a claim arising under the mortgage. Does that money decree by itself prevent a separate suit for sale of the mortgaged property under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Order XXXIV rule 14 permits the mortgagee to institute a separate suit for sale despite Order II rule 2. The mortgagee cannot bring the property to sale merely by executing that money decree.

Order XXXIV rule 14 expressly overrides Order II rule 2 for this suit.

A separate sale suit is the route expressly recognised by rule 14.

Option D

Rule 14 expressly permits a separate sale suit in the stated circumstances.
