An executive court
Verified Answer
A. Can vary the term of decree
B. Can modify and vary the term of decree
C. Can neither modify nor vary the terms of decree
D. Can modify the terms of decree
Explanation:
An executing court (a court executing a decree) cannot go behind the decree. Its jurisdiction is limited to executing the decree as it is passed by the adjudicating court. It cannot modify, vary, or add to the terms of the decree, even if it believes the decree is erroneous or unjust. Its role is purely ministerial in nature, to enforce the decree as pronounced.
