Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a compromise deed executed under alleged duress, questioning its validity under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The petitioner, claiming to be the sole successor of the property, contested the cancellation of the original sale deed and the subsequent allotment to a third party. The Court held that the compromise deed was valid as the petitioner did not dispute its execution or the receipt of payment, thus affirming the lower court's decision regarding the dispute under Section 64 of the M.P. Cooperative Societies Act.
