Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of Review Petition (C) No. D-5/2008 against the judgment in Second Appeal No. 19 of 2005, following the dismissal of SLP (C) No. 10939 of 2008. The Court held that the review petition was not maintainable as the earlier SLP was dismissed without leave to appeal, thus affirming the High Court's decision. The Court also clarified that a verbal settlement between parties, lacking written documentation, cannot be deemed acceptable in modifying a decree.
