  part of his property, or
  (b) is about to remove the whole or any part
  
  of his property from the local jurisdiction of the Court, it may order the
  
  attachment simultaneously with the issue of the proclamation.
  (2) Such order shall authorize the attachment
  
  of any property belonging to such person within the district in which it is
  
  made; and it shall authorize the attachment of any property belonging to such
  
  person without such district when endorsed by the District Magistrate within
  
  whose district such property is situate.

  the attachment under this section shall be made-

  (b) by the appointment of a receiver; or
  (c) by an order in writing prohibiting the delivery of such property to the
  
  proclaimed person or to any one on his behalf; on
  (d) by all or any two of such methods, as the Court thinks fit.
  (4) If the property ordered to be attached is immovable,

  sale thereof, and in such case the proceeds of the sale shall abide the order
  
  of the Court.
