Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of a tripartite settlement under the Rajasthan Land Acquisition Act, 1953, specifically addressing the execution of a compromise regarding compensation and allotment of residential plots. The Court held that the executing Court had jurisdiction to enforce the compromise, rejecting the High Court's view that the judgment was inexecutable due to lack of jurisdiction. The Court emphasized that the execution of the compromise must be upheld, thereby allowing the appellants to retain their allotted plots and the compensation awarded.
