The Registrar of Copyrights passes an order under the Copyright Act, 1957 directing a party, Meera Publications Pvt Ltd, to pay a sum of money to Arjun. Arjun wants to recover the amount. Under Section 75, what makes the order executable as a decree of a civil court?

The order becomes executable once the Registrar of Copyrights issues a certificate. Under Section 75 the order is then deemed a decree of a civil court and can be executed in the same manner, so no fresh suit is required.

Explanation

Section 75 provides that an order for payment of money made by the Registrar of Copyrights is deemed a decree of a civil court on a certificate issued by the Registrar, and is then executable like a decree. A fresh suit is not needed. Laying orders before Parliament relates to Section 43 orders of the Central Government, not payment orders.
