Except where stayed by a controlling statute or by rule or order of the court, plaintiff shall be entitled to request execution of the judgment ten (10) days after judgment has been entered. Every officer to whom a writ of execution is delivered shall make return thereon to the clerk's office unless the court otherwise directs. When a sale is made under any execution and no particular time for return is prescribed by order of the court or provision of law, the return shall be made within thirty (30) days after said sale. If no particular time is prescribed by order or law and no sale is made under the execution, return shall be made immediately after such execution occurs or, if not executed, within sixty (60) days after the writ of execution is issued.
