The transferee of a decree
Verified Answer
A. may enforce the decree against the legal representatives too
B. may enforce the decree against the sureties available with the judgment debtor
C. may enforce the decree against the securities available with the judgement debtor
D. shall hold the equities which the judgement debtor might have enforced against the original decree holder
Explanation:
Order XXI Rule 16 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, states that where a decree is transferred by assignment in writing or by operation of law, the transferee may apply for execution. However, the transferee takes the decree subject to all equities which the judgment-debtor might have enforced against the original decree-holder. This means the transferee cannot claim a better position than the original decree-holder.
