NANCY JOHN LYNDON vs PRABHATI LAL CHOWDHURY & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that sales of property by the judgment-debtor during the subsistence of an attachment are void under Section 64 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court clarified that the restoration of a dismissed execution case revives the attachment, thereby affecting any alienations made during its subsistence. The High Court's view that the dismissal of the execution case ended the attachment was erroneous, leading to the reversal of the High Court's decision.
