Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal in part, setting aside the High Court's order dismissing the review petition and permitting the appellants to amend their review petition regarding the compromise in the second appeal. The Court emphasized the legislative intent behind Order 23 Rule 3-A and Section 96(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, which restricts challenges to compromises unless based on fraud. The Court held that the High Court must re-examine the appellants' grievances concerning the compromise, as it significantly affects the parties' rights.
