Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the reliance on document Exh. F, purportedly evidencing a compromise regarding land allocation, was misplaced as it was dated after the conclusion of proceedings under Section 145 Cr.P.C. The Court emphasized that the lower appellate court and the High Court erred in admitting Exh. F without proper objection, as the compromise could not have occurred post the relevant order date. Consequently, the Court reversed the High Court's decision, reinstating the trial court's dismissal of the suit for declaration of title and possession.
