RENU DEVI vs MAHENDRA SINGH

The Supreme Court addressed a partition dispute involving Rameshwar Singh's family, where a compromise decree was established on 13.2.1978, detailing the distribution of property among three groups. The Court held that the compromise decree, although not initially engrossed on stamp paper, was valid and acted upon, leading to a final decree on 24.5.1979 that mirrored the preliminary decree. The Court emphasized that the rights of Group-2 were intact despite Group-3's occupation, and the terms of the compromise regarding rent and possession were enforceable under the law.
