§ 221. Compelling delivery of possession of real property. Where a
judgment affecting the title to, or the possession, enjoyment or use of,
real property allots to any person a distinct parcel of real property,
or contains a direction for the sale of real property, or confirms such
an allotment or sale, it also may direct the delivery of the possession
of the property to the person entitled thereto. If a party, or his
representative or successor, who is bound by the judgment, withholds
possession from the person thus declared to be entitled thereto, the
court, by order, in its discretion, besides punishing the disobedience
as a contempt, may require the sheriff to put that person into
possession. Such an order shall be executed as if it were an execution
for the delivery of the possession of the property.
