Summary

This rule ensures that when a court attaches assigned land revenue, the money goes to the Collector first.
An order from any court for attaching assigned land revenue forces the payer to give the money to the Collector instead of the usual assignee.
The Collector then holds this money until the court gives further instructions.
Once the payer gives the money to the Collector, their debt or obligation is officially cleared.

Practical examples

1A court orders the attachment of revenue that is normally paid to an assignee named Fatima. The local farmers now pay their dues to the Collector instead of Fatima.

2A farmer owes fifty rupees in land revenue. Because a court attached this revenue, the farmer pays the fifty rupees directly to the Collector, which legally clears his debt.
