LALJI RAJA & SONS. vs FIRM HANSRAJ NATHURAM

The Supreme Court held that the decree under execution was not a foreign decree as defined under Section 2(5) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, post-amendment in 1951, which specifies that a foreign court is one outside India not established by the Central Government. The Court ruled that the Bankura Court could not be considered a foreign court, thus the judgment-debtors could not invoke Section 13(b) or Section 13(d) to contest the decree's execution. The appeal was allowed, restoring the execution order of the Additional District Judge, Morena.
