Rule 6A of CPC : Rule 6A: Preparation of Decree.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh filed a civil suit against his neighbor, Suresh, for encroaching on his property. The court heard the case and pronounced the judgment on January 1st. According to Rule 6A of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908, the court must make every effort to prepare the decree as quickly as possible, and in any case, within fifteen days from the date of the judgment. Therefore, the decree should be drawn up by January 16th. If Rajesh wants to appeal the decision before the decree is formally prepared, he can do so using the copy of the judgment provided by the court. However, once the decree is drawn, the judgment will no longer serve as the decree for execution or any other purpose.

Example 2:

Meera won a civil case against a construction company for breach of contract, and the judgment was pronounced on February 10th. The court is required to prepare the decree by February 25th, as per Rule 6A. Meera wants to appeal certain parts of the judgment immediately. She can file an appeal without waiting for the formal decree by using the copy of the judgment provided by the court. However, once the decree is prepared, the judgment will no longer be used for execution or any other legal purposes, and the formal decree will take its place.
