The decree-holder filed a suit for recovery of Rs. 12,656-5-0 on the basis of a hundi against the judgment-debtor respondent. The suit ended in a compromise. There were two other defendants who were discharged from the suit. In order to appreciate the terms of the compromise and the dispute in the present appeal it is necessary to set out the entire compromise which is as follows:

That in case the entire share of defendant 1, situate in the said village, he insufficient for said payment of the said sum of money, defendant 1 would sell his zamindari share at village Panai, Parganah Bhagwantnagar and other villages, to the plaintiff in lieu of the outstanding demand.

Para. 2. That defendants 2 and 3 be exonerated from the claim but neither the said defendants costs of the suit will be made due from the plaintiff nor any costs of the plaintiff's suit will be found payable by the said defendants.
Para. 3. That the sale deed, in respect of the said zamindari shares, would be got registered in favour of the plaintiff by defendant 1 within 10 days and thereafter, having delivered the possession and occupation of the zamindari shares sold to the plaintiff, defendant 1 would get the mutation of names effected at once in the name of the-plaintiff and the plaintiff would be entitled to realize the rent and income of the zamindari share sold respecting Rabi 1340 F. And from the date of the sale all the rights, in respect of the property sold, shall accrue to the plaintiff.
Wherefore, having filed this application, under Order 23, Rule 3, Civil P.C., the parties pray that the suit be decided in accordance with the terms of this compromise.
