Plain English Summary
Section 45 enables Indian civil courts to transmit decrees for execution to courts established by the Central Government outside India (such as consular courts or extraterritorial tribunals), conditioned upon a State Government Official Gazette notification declaring the application of this section.
Key Legal Elements
- Outbound Transmission: Authority of domestic State courts to transmit decrees outside India.
- Union-Established Courts Abroad: Target forum must be a court established or continued by the Central Government outside India.
- State Gazette Notification: Enforceability is conditioned on explicit State Government notification.
- Reciprocal Extra-Territorial Machinery: Counterpart to Section 43 completing outward judicial enforcement.
Practical Note
Transmission to Extra-Territorial Courts of the Union: (1) Outbound Execution: While Section 43 provides for inbound execution of decrees from Central Government courts abroad into India, Section 45 is the reverse outbound provision permitting domestic courts to transmit decrees to Indian diplomatic/consular tribunals abroad. (2) State Notification Prerequisite: Requires a formal State Government notification in the Official Gazette specifying applicability to the designated foreign consular court.
