Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Karnataka High Court's judgment allowing the amendment of a prayer in a final decree application under Order 20 Rule 18 read with Section 54 of the CPC. The Court held that the High Court's decision to permit the amendment was justified, as it did not extend beyond the relief granted in the preliminary decree. The Court emphasized that the Executing Court must consider the prior orders while deciding the final decree application, thus upholding the High Court's ruling and dismissing the appeal.
