Code
CPC(I) No person executing any process under this Code
directing or authorizing seizure of movable property shall enter any dwelling-house after sunset and
before sunrise.(2) No outer door of a dwelling-house shall be broken open unless such dwelling-house is in the
occupancy of the judgment-debtor and he refuses or in any way prevents access thereto, but when the
person executing any such process has duly gained access to any dwelling-house, he may break open the
door of any room in which he has reason to believe any such property to be.(3) Where a room in a dwelling-house is in the actual occupancy of a woman who, according to the
customs of the country, does not appear in public, the person executing the process shall give notice to such
woman that she is at liberty to withdraw; and, after allowing reasonable time for her to withdraw and giving
her reasonable facility for withdrawing, he may enter such room for the purpose of seizing the property, using
at the same time every precaution, consistent with these provisions, to prevent its clandestine removal.
