Explanation using Example

Imagine a farmer, Mr. Sharma, who owns land in a state where the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC) does not extend. He wins a case in a Revenue Court against a tenant for unpaid rent. However, the tenant moves to another state where the CPC is applicable. To enforce the court's decision and collect the rent, Mr. Sharma needs the decree to be recognized in the tenant's current state.

Under Section 44 of the CPC, the state government where the tenant now resides can declare that the decree passed by the Revenue Court in the non-CPC state is executable as if it were passed by a local court. Once the notification is issued, Mr. Sharma can approach the local court in the tenant's state to execute the decree and recover his dues.
