INTRODUCTION
With the emergence of globalization, and transactions taking
place not only within thecountry but also between countries, it
is indispensible that the jurisdictional issues as to thedisputes
between the parties occur during such cross-border
transactions. Every party havetheir own concern as to their
rights and in that process try to ignore the procedure
agreedwhen they dispute or try to over ride such agreements
by seeking the local courts to quash the foreign judgment. The
courts in such a critical situation are unable to do a justification
to the parties because there
are certain restrictions as to the enforcement and execution of
foreign judgments.Under Indian Law, execution of decrees,
whether foreign or domestic, is governed by the provisions
of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The CPC provides two
ways of getting aforeign judgment enforced. Firstly by filing
an Execution Petition under Section 44A of theCPC in case the
conditions specified therein are fulfilled. Secondly, by filing a
suit upon theforeign judgment under section 13.The Sections
13 and 14 of CPC enables the rule of res judicata in case of
foreign judgments.These provisions embody the principle of
private international law that a judgement
delivered by a foreign court
of competent jurisdiction can be enforced by an Indian court
and willoperate as res judicata between the parties thereto
except in the cases mentioned in Section13.
