KANI RAM AND ANR. vs SMT. KAZANI AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the execution proceedings under the Delhi & Ajmer Rent Control Act, 1952, are subject to the principles of res judicata, as established under Section 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court affirmed that a decree based on a compromise does not render it a nullity, and the executing court's decision is a mixed question of law and fact. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the execution application was allowed, reinforcing the validity of the decree for eviction.
