Attach
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Attach [fr. attaccare, It., to fasten], to take or apprehend by commandant or a writ or precept. It differs from arrest, because it takes not only the body, but sometimes the goods, whereas an arrest is only against the person; besides, he who attaches keeps the party attached in order to produce him in Court on the day named, but he who arrests lodges the person arrested in the custody of a higher power, to be forthwith disposed of, Fleta, lib. 5, c. xxiv. See ATTACHMENT.
