Gujarat High Court Civil Manual (subordinate court practice), 1960

Statutory text

The Code requires that the decree shall agree with the Judgment. Rules 6 and 7 state in general what the decree should contain. There are other provisions in Order XX which give directions as to the contents of the decree in specific cases. Several forms are also given in Appendix D of Schedule I of the Code. The appropriate form should be used for drawing up the correct decree. Although the forms do not mention all the particulars which may be embodied in the decree, it is desirable to follow the practice of incorporating the whole plaint in the decree in a regular suit. Experience shows that it is a good practice which leaves no possibilities of omitting any important particulars. It is also necessary to mention the registered address of the parties in the decree.
