M/S Alagu Pharmacy vs N Magudeswari

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a compromise deed under pressure, as per the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960. The Court held that a compromise entered into under duress is not enforceable, emphasizing that consent must be free and voluntary. The judgment overturned the High Court's order, allowing the appellants to contest the eviction proceedings based on the alleged coercion in signing the compromise deed.
