Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether the executing court can vary the terms of a consent decree under Order XXIII Rule 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Court held that the executing court does not have the authority to alter the terms of a consent decree, emphasizing that such decrees must be executed as per their original terms. The appeal was allowed, reinforcing the sanctity of consent decrees and the necessity for adherence to their stipulated conditions.
