Shyam Sunder And Ors. vs Siya Ram And Anr. on 28 July, 1972
In Ram Gati Chaube's case (Supra), the parties had entered into a compromise in a mutation case, on the basis of which some specific properties were given to the rival Parties as absolute
owners and it was stipulated that they will have no title to or concern with
the properties given to the other party. The S.D.O. passed a one word order" 'approved', without incorporating the said terms in his order. The Full Bench formulated six questions but decided only the first two namely, whether the order of the mutation Court embodied the petition of compromise and whether the said compromise declared rights to immovable property worth more than Rs. 100/- and was inadmissible in evidence for want of registration. The Full Bench held that had the S.D.O.'s order explicitly recorded the entire compromise, no problem would have been posed. However, the order could be deemed to emfody only those provisions which specify the properties to be mutated and it could not be deemed to refer to and embody those provisions of the compromise which declared the parties to be the absolute owners. The other questions about admissibilitv of the compromise comprised in questions Nos. 3 to 6 remained unanswered. That being so, this case also does not help the appellants.
