Facts of the Case
Background
The appellants, former employees of the first respondent, obtained an arbitral award in 2007 for reinstatement and payment of salaries in USD. After registration of the award as a High Court judgment, disputes arose regarding the currency of payment following statutory changes. The first respondent obtained a declaratory judgment that the debt was discharged by payment in local currency at 1:1 rate. The appellants later sought an order for payment in USD, leading to this appeal.
