Document background
The Notice of Judgment Lien is a vital instrument in Indian civil litigation and debt recovery proceedings, used after obtaining a favorable court judgment to secure the judgment creditor's interests in the debtor's property. This document becomes necessary when a judgment creditor needs to ensure their right to recover the judgment amount by creating an encumbrance on the debtor's property. The notice must comply with various Indian legislations, including the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, the Registration Act, 1908, and state-specific property laws. It contains detailed information about the judgment, parties involved, property description, and the amount of the lien. The Notice of Judgment Lien serves multiple purposes: it provides public notice of the creditor's claim, prevents the debtor from transferring or encumbering the property without addressing the judgment, and establishes the creditor's priority in claiming against the property.
