Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the efficacy of court orders based on compromise agreements, specifically in the context of a dispute involving the displacement of traders due to construction activities. The Court held that the obligations arising from such agreements are akin to contractual obligations, and any breach thereof cannot be remedied through writ jurisdiction but rather through seeking compensation. The Court emphasized that the authorities must adhere to the terms of the earlier settlement regarding alternative accommodation for displaced persons, as outlined in the compromise agreement.
