when foreign decree shall be conclusive


When a Foreign Judgment shall be conclusive.


A foreign judgment shall be conclusive as to any matter thereby directly adjudicated upon
between the same parties or between parties
under whom they or any of them claim
litigating under the same title except-
(a) where it has not been pronounced by a
Court of competent jurisdiction;
(b) where it has not been given on the merits of the case;
(c) where it appears on the face of the
proceedings to be founded on an incorrect view of international law or a refusal to recognize the law of India in cases in which such law is applicable;
(d) where the proceedings in which the
judgment was obtained are opposed to natural justice;
(e) where it has been obtained by fraud;
(f) where it sustains a claim founded on a
