According to the Code of Civil Procedure (C.P.C), what term describes the statement made by a judge explaining the reasons for a decree or order?
Explanation
Under the C.P.C, the term 'Judgment' refers to the judge's written explanation detailing the grounds on which a decree or order is based. It is distinct from a plaint (the plaintiff's complaint), ratio decidendi (the legal principle), and suit (the overall legal action).
