Procedure on order being made absolute and consequences of disobedience.

What this section does

Once an order is made absolute under section 155 or section 157, the Magistrate notifies the person and requires performance of the directed act within a fixed time, warning of liability under section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 for disobedience. If the act is not performed in time, the Magistrate may cause it to be performed and recover costs by sale of removed property or by distress and sale of the person's movable property, including property outside the Magistrate's jurisdiction if endorsed by the local Magistrate. No suit lies for anything done in good faith under this section.
