M. P. SHREEVASTAVA vs MRS. VEENA

The Supreme Court held that under Section 47 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the wife’s application to record satisfaction of a decree for restitution of conjugal rights was maintainable, as it pertains to execution, discharge, or satisfaction of a decree. The Court clarified that the expression 'Court executing the decree' does not require a pending execution application by the decree-holder. However, the application was not maintainable under Order 21, Rule 2, as there was no evidence of consent from the husband to adjust the decree, which is necessary for that provision to apply.
