It was alleged in the plaint that a partition suit, was filed in the Court of the Subordinate Judge of Fyzabad, which went up in appeal to the Chief Court at Lucknow, that in that appeal a compromise was filed between the parties and was signed by the plaintiff's father, which was accepted by the Court and a decree in terms of the compromise was passed. The plaintiff alleged that his father was a person of weak intellect, addicted to hemp, that he was under the undue influence of the other defendants, that he was in collusion with them at the time and it was in these circumstances that he made the application, styling it as a compromise, on 20th November 1919.
