"Decreed with costs"means the court has decided the case in favor of the plaintiff and also ordered the defendant to pay the plaintiff's legal expenses (like court fees and lawyer charges) as mentioned in the cost memo. In short, the plaintiff not only wins the case but also gets back the money they spent on the legal process.

case decreed means the relief prayed by the party approaching the court has been granted and costs in your case means, the amount legally spent on the litigation by the person approaching the court is ordered to be paid by the opposite party against whom decree is passed.

Hi, This means that the case has decided and the cost which has been prayed by the plaintiff has been awarded. The defendant is liable to pay such cost which is mentioned in the order. So if you are the petitioner you are entitled to seek the cost from the defendants as has been mentioned in the order or as prayed before the court.
