The provision merely enables District Courts to execute foreign decrees as if passed by Indian courts. For limitation purposes, the law of the cause country applies, not Indian limitation law. The limitation period runs from the date the decree was passed in the foreign court. If execution proceedings are first initiated in the cause country, the decree holder can file execution petition in India within 3 years from finalization of those proceedings under Article 137 of the Limitation Act. The appeal was dismissed. en-us Tue, 17 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 31 May 2024 17:04:42 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=314320 The SC held that Section 44A of CPC does not create a fresh limitation period for executing foreign decrees from reciprocating countries in India.
