As per the Definitions given in Civil Procedure Code - 1908

Section 2 Sub Clause(14): ORDER

"order" means the formal expression of any decision of a Civil Court which is not a decree;

- - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - -

Section 2 Sub Clause(2): DECREE

"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 [3]* * * 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;

Section 2 Sub Clause(9): JUDGMENT

"judgment" means the statement given by the judge of the grounds of a decree or order;

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -

Every decree is appealable but every order is not.

Only orders under s.104 are appealable.

Again, a second appeal lies to the High Court from a first appeal, but there is no second appeal from appealable orders.
