Execution of a Decree under Order 21 of CPC
The term execution of a decree refers to the process for enforcing or giving effect to the judgment, decree or order of the court.
The execution is the mechanism though which the decree holder realises the fruits of the decree ordered by the court. It comes to a close when the decree holder gets the relief awarded to him by the court.
The decree holder is the person in whose favour a decree has been passed, and the judgment debtor is the person against whom a decree has been passed.
