(2) A warrant for seizure and sale of the movable property of a person under this section shall be addressed to the court within whose jurisdiction it is to be executed.
(3) Where execution of a warrant is to be enforced by attachment of debts or sale of immovable property, the warrant shall be sent for execution to any court competent to execute orders for the payment of money in civil suits and the court shall follow the procedure for the time being in force for the execution of such orders.
