Whether Order dismissing a suit for non payment of costs is a decree and whether the same court can recall said order?

[Educator]

The Apex Court has clearly held that dismissal of the suit for non-prosecution is not a decree as specified by Section 2(2) of the C.P.C. There is no difficulty in holding that an order dismissing a suit for non-payment of costs is essentially an order dismissing the suit for non-prosecution. Therefore, in my humble opinion, the order dismissing the suit for non-payment of costs is not a decree.
