Judgment
Judgment [fr. judgment, Fr.], judicial determination; decision of a Court.Under the former practice of the superior Courts, this term was usually applied only to the Common Law Courts, the term 'decree' being in general use in the Court of Chancery. The expression 'Judg-ment,' however, is now used generally except in matrimonial causes, the term 'judgment' including 'decree' [(English) Jud. Act, 1925, s. 225, replacing Jud. Act,1873, s. 100].The several species of judgments are either:-(a) Interlocutory, given in the course of a cause, upon some plea, proceeding, or default, which is only intermediate, and does not finally determine or complete the action. See INQUIRY; SUMMONSES; and ORDERS; and the various titles of the subjects of such judgments as MANDAMUS; INJUNC-TION, etc.(b) Final, putting an end to the action by an award of redress to one party, or discharge of the other, as the case may be.By the (English) C.L.P. Act,1852, s. 120, a plaintiff or defendant having obtained a verd...
Interlocutory order
Interlocutory order, it has to be construed in con-tradiction to or in contrast with final order. It means not a final order, but an intermediate order. It is made between the commencement of an action and the entry of the judgment, V.C. Shukla v. C.B.I., AIR 1980 SC 962 (976). (Order XXXIX, Rule 6, CPC, 1908)The term 'interlocutory order' in S. 397(2) of the 1973 Code (Cr. P.C.) has been used in a restricted sense and not in any broad or artistic sense. It merely denotes orders of a purely interim or temporary nature which do not decide or touch the important rights or the liabilities of the parties. Any order which substantially affects the right of the accused, or decides certain rights of the parties cannot be said to be an interlocutory order so as to bar a revision to the High Court against that order, because that would be against the very object which formed the basis for insertion of this particular provision in S. 397 of the 1973 Code, Amar Nath v. State of Haryana, AIR 1977 ...
Decree
Decree [fr. decretum, Lat.], an edict, a law.The term was also used for the judgment of a Court of Equity. But by the (English) Judicature Acts, 1873 and 1875, the expression judgment, which was formerly used only in Courts of Common Law, is adopted in reference to the decisions of all Divisions of the Supreme Court, and [(English) Judicature Act, 1925, s. 225, replacing (English) Act of 1873, s. 100] includes decree. See JUDGMENT, and consult Seton on Decrees. In Scotland the judgment of a Court disposing of a case (accent on first syllable).Decree means a formal expression of an adjudication which the Court conclusively and finally determines the rights of the parties with regard to all or any of the matters in controversy in the suit, Deep Chand v. Land Acquisition Officer, (1994) 4 SCC 99: AIR 1994 SC 1901.A decree in invitum is not an instrument securing money or other property; such a decree is a record of the formal adjudication of the Court relating to a right claimed by a part...
Award
Award [the primitive sense of ward is shown in the It. Guardare, Fr. regarder, to look. Hence, Prov. Fr. eswarder (answering in form to award), to inspect goods, and, incidentally, to pronounce them good and marketable; eswardenur, an inspector, Hecart. An award is accordingly, in the first place, the taking a matter into consideration and pronouncing judgment upon it; but in later times the designation has been transferred exclusively to the consequent judgment, Wedgw.], a document containing the determination of commissioners, under an Inclosure Act or other public statute; also an instrument embodying an arbitrator's decision on a matter submitted to him. It must follow the submission, but need not necessarily be in writing, unless so prescribed. An award is generally considered as published as soon as the arbitrator has done some act where by he becomes functus officio, and has declared, and can no longer change, his final mind. As soon as the award is executed, notice thereof shou...
