ORDER
The applicant filed an application under section 44-A, C. P. C. for execution of a foreign Court decree passed by the High Court of Justice, Queens Bench Division, London in the matter of arbitration. The office raised several objections which inter alia include that in terms of Explana tion 3(b( to section 44-A, C. P. C. the arbitration award cannot be termed as a decree and is not executable. The applicant in reply stated that Explanation 3(b) refers only to arbitration awards which have now been "converted into decrees by the Court". A notice was issued to the Advocate General who has also addressed on this point.
