NARHARI SHIVRAM SHET NARVEKAR vs PANNALAL UMEDIRAM

The Supreme Court held that a decree from a foreign court is not a nullity if the party has appeared before it, referencing Article 261(3) of the Constitution. The Court dismissed the appeal of the judgment-debtor, affirming that the decree passed by the Bombay High Court was executable in Goa after the extension of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court distinguished prior cases and established that the right to execute a decree is procedural and does not constitute a vested right.
