What is the meaning of "Decreed-with costs"?

I am one of the respondent to the suite filed against us on our property. the petitioner is claiming that he had paid advance amount to buy our property and claiming to sell the property to him. the online status says " Contested- Decreed with Costs". what does it mean? did he win the case? should we pay any costs to him? should we give the land to him? copy of the judgement is still not received by us.

Yes, the petitioner has won the case.

• The case status "Contested - Decreed with Costs" typically means that the case has been fully heard and decided by the court after both parties have presented their arguments and evidence.
• The term "Contested" means that the case was disputed or challenged by one or both parties, and it went through the full legal process of being heard and decided by the court.
• The term "Decreed" means that the court has made a final judgment or order in the case, resolving the dispute between the parties.
• The term "with Costs" means that the court has ordered one party to pay the costs of the proceedings to the other party. This could include legal fees, court fees, and other expenses incurred by the winning party during the course of the case.

You now have the option to either go in appeal against the judgement or, if the order was passed ex parte i.e., you were absent during the trial, you can apply to have the judgement set aside under Order 9 Rule 13 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.

You have to pay the costs if you are a party who has appeared in court, either directly or via an attorney. The Plaintiff must pay the costs shown in their cost memo.

It seems serious and it is better to concentrate in getting Judgment & Decree Copy at the earliest and proceed further.

he won the case. you have to pay the cost, if there is judgement say so. the case is contested one, i.e., the judgement was delivered after full fledged trial. may be, since you are one of the respondent, the others may contest it. you did not tell the whole picture, weather you are co-sharer of the property.now, you can go for appeal or if you are set exparte, you can set aside the judgement and it can be advisable only on perusing the full case bundle along with judgement.
