PARMOD GOYAL, J. (ORAL)

The present revision petition has been filed by the defendant No. 1 against the impugned order dated 07.07.2025 (Annexure P-16), passed by the Additional District Judge, Moga, vide which the application by the defendant- petitioner seeking to recall the compromise and permission to contest the case and to file a written statement was dismissed.

2. The facts in the present case are not in dispute. The plaintiffs- respondents had filed a suit for specific performance based on an agreement dated 25.09.2015, and alternatively, a suit for recovery of Rs. 95,00,000/-. The original sale agreement dated 25.09.2015 was duly placed on record but was subsequently lost from the file, and an order was passed for its reconstruction. The matter was compromised between the plaintiffs and defendants on 08.12.2018 (although the compromise was effected on 07.12.2018, the statements of the parties were recorded on 08.12.2018)
