MOHINDER SINGH . vs DEV RAJ — C.A. No. 6578/2012

Summary of C.A. No. 006578/2012 (Mohinder Singh v. Dev Raj) The Supreme Court allowed Mohinder Singh's appeal, setting aside the High Court's judgment that had reversed the trial and first appellate courts' dismissal of Dev Raj's suit. The dispute involved adjoining plots and a 1996 compromise settlement where Dev Raj retained construction on a passage (Khasra No. 183/1) in exchange for surrendering 2 marlas of land to Mohinder Singh. The High Court erred by re-appreciating evidence without substantial questions of law and selectively enforcing the compromise, favoring Dev Raj on both properties. The Court restored the lower courts' dismissal, finding the compromise binding and Dev Raj's subsequent claim untenable.
