Supreme Court on modes of payment under decrees

    The court in Gurpreet Singh case discussed the modes of payment under decrees according to Order XXI of CPC. The court stated that in the case of execution of money decrees or award decrees, interest stops running on the amount deposited to the extent of the deposit.

    The court also stated that if there is a shortage in the amount deposited, the decree holder may be entitled to apply the rule of appropriation to the interest, costs, and then to the principal amount. However, the scheme does not allow for reopening of the satisfaction that has already occurred by the deposit.

    The court also discussed the process of payment of money under a decree, which can be made by deposit into the executing court, by postal money order or through a bank, or as directed by the court. The interest stops running from the date of notice of payment given to the decree holder. If the payment is made out of court, interest stops from the date of payment.

Supreme Court on false promise of marriage

 A married woman had sexual relations with the accused, who promised to marry her. The courts initially found the accused guilty of the offense under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), but after a closer examination of the evidence, it was found to be a fallacy. The key issue is whether the woman's consent was given under a false promise or not. There is a difference between a false promise and a breach of promise, and the court must examine each case based on its specific facts. In this case, the woman was mature and intelligent enough to understand the consequences of her actions and her conduct during the relationship suggests that she had willingly betrayed her husband and children. Every breach of promise is not a false promise of marriage and thus every breach of promise will not result in a conviction of rape.
