Explanation:

A decree is considered final in two ways: (1) when no appeal has been preferred against it within the prescribed period of limitation, or (2) when the appeal preferred against it has been finally disposed of. Additionally, a decree, by its very definition under Section 2(2) of the CPC, is the formal expression of an adjudication which, so far as regards the Court expressing it, conclusively determines the rights of the parties with regard to all or any of the matters in controversy in the suit. Therefore, both conditions contribute to a decree becoming final.
