The applicant failed to prove, by evidence, that it had title or interest in the vehicles at the date of attachment, as required by Order 21 Rule 58 CPC. All vehicles were registered in the 2nd respondent's name, and no sale agreement or transfer of ownership to the applicant was produced. There was no prima facie evidence of fraud or collusion in the compromise decree. The judgment-debtor (2nd respondent) had a saleable interest in the vehicles at the time of attachment, making them liable to attachment and sale.
