Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order dated 23.07.2002, which dismissed an application by defendant No. 2 challenging the binding nature of a compromise in a second appeal. The Court emphasized that the High Court failed to inquire into the validity of the compromise as required under Order XXIII of the Civil Procedure Code. The matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh consideration, including the examination of the compromise petition's impact on the appeal.
