Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Himachal Pradesh High Court, affirming the dismissal of the second appeal regarding a suit for declaration and specific performance under the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court found that the plaintiffs had compromised their case and did not wish to pursue the suit, leading to the dismissal by the first Appellate Court. The Court clarified that the sale deed executed during the pendency of the appeal was subject to the compromise decree, thus reinforcing the principle that a settlement between parties can affect ownership rights.
