R. RAJANNA vs S.R.VENKATASWAMY .

The Supreme Court addressed whether a decree based on a compromise can be challenged in a separate suit, ruling that such a challenge is not permissible under Order XXIII Rule 3A of the Civil Procedure Code. The Court held that a party aggrieved by a compromise decree must approach the court that issued the decree to contest its validity. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision to reject the plaint based on the aforementioned rule and the precedent set in Pushpa Devi Bhagat v. Rajinder Singh (2006) 5 SCC 566.
