#Section 44-A CPC

The Bombay High Court holds that failure to file the mandatory certificate under Section 44-A(2) CPC at the time of filing an execution petition does not invalidate the proceeding if cured later through a penal notice and subsequent submission. This ruling empowers decree holders in reciprocating territories by treating procedural lapses as curable, not jurisdictional, reducing technical dismissals and promoting enforcement of foreign judgments.

Allahabad High Court rules that the non-filing of a certificate of satisfaction under Section 44-A(2) CPC does not invalidate execution proceedings for foreign decrees if the debt remains unpaid. The requirement is procedural, not jurisdictional, ensuring creditors can enforce foreign judgments without undue technical barriers.
