Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the efficacy of court orders based on compromise agreements, specifically in the context of a dispute involving traders facing displacement due to a construction project. The Court held that the obligations arising from such agreements are akin to contractual obligations, and any breach thereof should be remedied through compensation rather than writ jurisdiction. The Court upheld the lower court's dismissal of the writ petition, affirming that the remedy for breach of the settlement lies outside the scope of writ proceedings.
