Practice question
A complainant points to a pending criminal charge and demands that police freeze all of the accused's assets immediately, without a proper application or judicial process. The civil claim is properly instituted, but no attachment ground has been shown. Which is correct?
- The charge alone automatically freezes every asset
- Rule 127 permits security relief only upon the required ground and applicable process; the criminal charge alone is insufficient
- The police may conclusively award all assets to the complainant
- The accused's denial automatically supplies every attachment ground
- No civil provisional remedy can ever be used in a criminal case
