JUDGMENT
Dated this the 24th day of March, 2022
This Second Appeal has been filed by the defendant in O.S.
No. 77 of 2010 on the file of the Sub Court, Thiruvalla.
Originally, the suit was dismissed by the learned Sub Judge by a
judgment and decree dated 6th December, 2012. The said
judgment and decree were challenged by the respondent herein
before the District Court, Pathanamthitta in A.S. No. 19 of 2013.
As per the judgment and decree in the appeal dated 10 th
October, 2013, the judgment and decree of the trial court were
reversed and the suit was decreed allowing the appellant therein
to recover a sum of Rs.1,24,000/- with interest at the rate of
12% from 09.04.2010 till 06.12.2012. Then, this appellant/the
defendant challenged the said judgment and decree and thus
this second appeal. While this appeal was pending, the original
plaintiff/respondent expired and her legal representatives are RSA.45/2014
impleaded as respondents 2 to 8. Now the dispute between the
parties has been amicably settled out of court and a compromise
petition has been filed as I.A. No. 3 of 2022. As the matter has
been compromised between the parties, this appeal has to be
disposed of accepting the compromise petition.
2. Though this appellant had deposited an amount of
Rs.1,24,000/- to lift the attachment pertaining to his property,
the learned counsel appearing for the appellant submitted that
no order was passed in I.A. No. 536 of 2010 lifting the
attachment of the property on deposit of the amount before the
court below.
In the result, the appeal is disposed of accepting the
compromise petition. The compromise petition shall form part of
the decree. It is made clear that the appellant herein is
permitted to withdraw the amount of Rs.1,24,000/- deposited by
him before the Sub Court, Thiruvalla to lift the attachment
pertaining to the property scheduled. As the matter has been RSA.45/2014
settled, and the appellant is permitted to withdraw the amount,
the attachment is lifted. The Registry shall communicate this
order to the SRO concerned.
