Questions
What happens to a German court judgment in India?
Germany is not on India's reciprocating-territory list, so its court decrees cannot be executed in India as they stand; the winning party has to sue again in India on the foreign judgment.
General information as at 5 November 2026, not advice for a particular case. Indian and German rules change often; confirm the current position before acting. German law points should be confirmed with a German adviser.
