THIS RFA IS FILED UNDER SECTION 96(1) READ WITH ORDER 43 RULE 1-A SUB CLAUSE (1) AND (2) RULE 96 OF CPC AGAINST THE JUDGMENT AND DECREE DATED 25.03.2017 PASSED IN OS.NO.450/2008 ON THE FILE OF THE XXXVIII ADDITIONAL CITY CIVIL AND SESSIONS

JUDGE, BENGALURU ALLOWING THE COMPROMISE PETITION FILED UNDER ORDER 23 RULE 3 OF CPC.

THIS RFA COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY, THE COURT DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:

JUDGMENT

This appeal is filed against the judgment and decree

(compromise decree) dated 25.03.2017 passed by XXXVIII

Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge, Bengaluru, in

O.S.No.450/2008.

2. The appellants were original parties to

O.S.No.450/2008. The suit has been dismissed as against

appellant nos.2, 3 and 4 as not pressed. Appellant nos.1,

5 and 6 were placed ex parte. Presently, appellant nos.1

and 3 are dead.

3. In all defendant nos.1, 2, 4 to 8, 12, 13 and 25 to 31

were placed ex parte in the original suit and the suit

against defendant nos.3, 9 to 11, 14, 15, 18 to 21 & 24

was dismissed as not pressed.

4. The plaintiffs and defendant nos.16 and 17 alone

have filed a compromise petition before the trial court

determining their rights in respect of the suit schedule

properties. The compromise petition was accepted and the

suit has been decreed.

5. Aggrieved by the said judgment and decree passed

in O.S.No.450/2008 pursuant to the compromise entered

into by the plaintiffs and defendant nos.16 and 17 in the

original suit, the present appellants have filed this appeal.

6. It is needless to state that the rights determined by

way of a compromise petition in the impugned judgment

and decree are rights in personam and not right in rem

and are normally binding only between the parties to the

compromise petition.

7. In the instant case, admittedly, the appellants are

not parties to the compromise petition. If they are

aggrieved by the compromise, they can always move the

Court which recorded the compromise and in such an

event, the Court shall examine the same in accordance

with law. An appeal from a compromise decree is barred

under Section 96(3) of CPC and the instant appeal for that

reason is not maintainable.

8. With the aforesaid observations, the appeal is

disposed of. In view of disposal of the appeal, all pending

I.As. do not survive for consideration and they stand

disposed of accordingly.
