You won the order. Now enforce it: recovery as arrears of land revenue
Winning is the halfway point. An order directing a promoter to pay interest or refund an amount is worth what you can actually collect on it, and collection is a separate exercise with its own machinery.
The recovery route
Where a promoter does not comply, the amount due can be recovered as arrears of land revenue. In practice that means a recovery warrant issued to the district administration, which brings the Collector's machinery to bear on attachment and sale.
How to make it move
- Apply for the recovery warrant promptly once the compliance period lapses.
- Identify attachable assets specifically — bank accounts, receivables, unsold inventory — rather than leaving the search to the office.
- Follow the file through the revenue authority; recovery is administrative work as much as legal work.
Recovery rewards the party who does the asset homework. A warrant with no target attached to it moves slowly.
Where the promoter is genuinely insolvent rather than merely unwilling, reassess: a different forum may be the better use of the next year.
