The document discusses the appointment of receivers in India. It notes that receivers can be appointed by a court before or after a decree to act as custodians of property during legal proceedings. Receivers essentially take on the role of property owners and have powers to manage, protect, and improve the property. They must submit accounts to the court, pay amounts owed, and are responsible for any losses due to willful misconduct or negligence. The court can enforce receivers' duties and hold them accountable by attaching their property if needed. Collectors may also be appointed as receivers for certain land revenue properties with the collector's consent.
