Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's application challenging the executability of an English Court's order under Section 13(b) of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC). The Court ruled that the English Court's order constituted a decree on merits, thus making it executable in India under Section 44A of the CPC. The Court clarified that the costs awarded were not merely interlocutory but were conclusive, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
