If the doctor not paid the amount. You have to give application to attach the property or bank account in this execution. You have to give details of property which is her name. When the property or bank account attach than she goes all the amount which is court order.

Hi
You can very well file an application for the arrest of the Judgment debtor if he or she is not complying with the forum's order. The forum may first freeze his/her bank accounts and attach the same if the decree is not honored as per the order. You can connect me for further assistance.
