The term "Decree" has been defined under the Civil Procedure Code. Section 2 (2) of Civil Procedure Code defines Decree in the following words :
"Decree” means the formal expression of an adjudication
which, so far as regards the Court expressing it, conclusively
determines the rights of the parties with regard to all or any of the
matters in controversy in the suit and may be either preliminary or
final. It shall be deemed to include the rejection of a plaint and the
determination of any question within section 144, but shall not include :
(a) any adjudication from which an appeal lies as an appeal from an order, or
(b) any order of dismissal for default.
Explanation
–
A decree is preliminary when further proceedings have to be taken
before the suit can be completely disposed of. It is final when such
adjudication completely disposes of the suit, it may be partly
preliminary and partly final.
