Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legal issue surrounding the assignment of a decree holder's rights under Order XXI Rule 16 of the CPC and its implications under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The court examined the addition of the explanation to Order XXI Rule 16, which was introduced to resolve conflicting views among High Courts. The appeal was ultimately decided in favor of the appellants, affirming their rights as assignees of the decree holder.
