What is the meaning of legal language when somebody says that "Suit has been decreed"
Kuummaar AS

You may refer to Section 2 Sub Sections(2) and (3) of CPC quoted below
(2) " decree " means the formal expression of an adjudication which, so far as regards the Court expressing it, conclusively determines the rights of the parties with regard to all or any of the matters in controversy in the suit and may be either preliminary or final. It shall be deemed to include the rejection of a plaint and the determination of any question within section 47 or section 144, but shall not include-
(a) any adjudication from which an appeal lies as an appeal from an order, or
(b) any order of dismissal for default.
Explanation.-A decree is preliminary when further proceedings have to be taken before the suit can be completely disposed of. It is final when such adjudication completely disposes of the suit. It may be partly preliminary and partly final:
(3) " decree-holder" means any person in whose favor a decree has been passed or an order capable of execution has been made
From the above, it will be gathered that in loose term "SUIT HAS BEEN DECREED" MEANS SUIT HAS BEEN DECIDED IN FAVOUR OF THE CLAIMANT.

If you are related to the case and have some legal problem on the decree then please come forward with the real problem to have appropriate solution, rather than putting academic query as well as supplementary queries for asking meanings of the words.

Mr. Sandeep,
Is there any problem, if I have asked you to discuss the real problem to get an appropriate solution instead of raising an academic query?
Reply to any academic query tends to cause several supplementary queries of general nature that tend to waste more time of the experts. That is why, academic queries are not preferred to be replied. I know if someone replies what is lexicon you or someone else may raise a query where that would be available, and so on.
However, if you want to know only the meaning of the terms, better post your query in the forum section. We prefer to solve the problems of the needy persons rather than explaining terms for general knowledge.

You need not post the query here as it is not a practical problem. You can verify any legal dictionary or search google for the meaning.
