CMPMO 129 of 2008. 10.9.2008 Present: Mr. Ashok Chaudhary, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Ajay Sharma, counsel for respondent No. 2. Parties have been served. Shri Ajay Sharma, Advocate appears for respondent No. 2. The petitioner who was the plaintiff before the trial Court is aggrieved by order dated 7.4.2007 passed in the suit instituted by her for declaration and other reliefs as prayed for therein. On 7.4.2007, the matter was taken up by Lok Adalat for conciliation. It was recorded that the parties have compromised in terms of Ex.PA which was placed on record; the statements of the parties recorded separately and in view of their statements, the suit of the plaintiff was dismissed as compromised. This is palpably a wrong order. Respondent No. 2 was admittedly not present before the Lok Adalat nor his statement was recorded and he was not a party to this compromise. Moreover there was no prayer in the statements of the parties present that the suit be dismissed as having been compromised. Obviously, if the suit was to be compromised, all the parties to the suit had to agree to the compromise on the basis of which a -2- consent decree was to be passed. This not having been done, the order passed by the Lok Adalat cannot be sustained and is hereby quashed and set aside. The matter is remanded to the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Jawali for trial in accordance with law. He will take into consideration Ex.PA at the time of trial to see as to what is its effect on the entire suit. Parties shall appear before the learned trial Court on 14.10.2008. Records be sent back to the trial Court immediately. September 10, 2008 (PC). (Dev Darshan Sud), J.
