Questions
What happens to a UAE court judgment in India?
The UAE appears on India's list of reciprocating territories (section 44A of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908): a money decree from one of its superior courts can be put into execution in an Indian district court, unless a statutory ground for refusal applies.
