      Where a consent decree has been passed by the trial court, can an appeal be filed against such order under the Civil Procedure Code – CPC?

      No. An appeal against a consent decree is not permissible under the specific provisions of Section 96(3) of the Civil Procedure Code, which is reproduced below:

      “(3) No appeal shall lie from a decree passed by the Court with the consent of parties.”
