Ajad Singh @ Ajad vs Chatra And Others

The Supreme Court held that the compromise dated 14.10.1985, signed by the appellant Ajad Singh, was a valid relinquishment of his rights over the suit property, thereby preventing him from claiming possession. The Court emphasized that the appellant failed to raise any plea regarding the alleged coercion in the compromise in his pleadings or examination-in-chief. Consequently, the First Appellate Court's reversal of the trial court's decree was upheld, affirming the defendants' possession based on the compromise.
