RFA No. 1695 of 2023
This appeal arises out of the impugned judgment and
decree dated 11.07.2023 passed in O.S.No.25504/2021 by the XIII
Addl. City Civil and Sessions Judge, Mayohall Unit, Bengaluru,
whereby, the said suit filed by the respondent – plaintiff for
ejectment and other reliefs against the appellant – defendant, in
relation to the suit schedule immovable property, was decreed by
the Trial Court.
2. The said Joint Compromise Petition reads as under:
“COMPROMISE PETITON UNDER ORDER XXIII,
RULE 3 OF THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE,
1908:
1.
The dispute between the parties has been
amicably settled at the intervention of common well-
wishers and friends.
2.
The Appellant has sought for time upto
30.06.2024 to quit, vacate and deliver vacant possession
of the subject premises and deliver the same to the
Respondent. The Respondent has agreed for the same.
3.
The Appellant has paid security deposit of
Rs.5,25,000/- to the Respondent and it is mutually
agreed that Respondent shall not be liable to refund the
same to the Appellant and appropriate it towards mesne
profits.
- 3 -
4.
The Appellant has agreed that any addition to
the foregoing, the Appellant shall pay a sum of
Rs.12,000/-
per
mensem
towards
mesne
profits
commencing from 01.10.2023 upto 30.06.2024 without
committing any default.
5.
The Appellant undertakes to deliver vacant
possession of the subject premises to the Respondent as
agreed herein without committing any default and driving
the Respondent into execution process and also
undertakes that they shall not further sub-let or underlet
any portion of the Schedule property.
6.
The parties have obtained respective legal
advice and have voluntarily agreed upon the terms of the
compromise after understanding the implications thereof.
7.
The
parties
affirm
that
subject
to
due
compliance of the agreed terms recorded in this
compromise, they shall have no further claims against
each other.
Wherefore, it is jointly prayed that this Hon’ble Court may
be pleased to dispose of the above appeal in terms of
this compromise petition and order refund of court fee to
the appellant".
3. Both the parties are present before the court and have
been identified by their respective counsel. Further, they admit that
they have signed the compromise petition.
4. Being satisfied that the compromise is lawful, in my view,
the appeal deserves to be disposed of in terms of the compromise
- 4 -
petition by suitably modifying the impugned judgment and decree
passed by the Trial Court.
5. In the result, I pass the following:
ORDER

petition.

11.07.2023, passed by the Trial Court in O.S.No.25504/2021 is
