J U D G M E N T When these appeals came up for hearing, the learned counsel appearing on either side, submits that the matter has been settled out of Court. Parties have filed a compromise petition also, with a prayer to dispose of the appeals in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the compromise petition. The suit was one for partition. A preliminary decree was passed. 2. As per the terms of compromise, the plaintiffs have relinquished some of their rights in favour of the first defendant, respondent. Therefore, the preliminary decree passed by the court below is hereby set aside, and the suit is disposed of in terms of the compromise entered into by the parties. However, it is made clear that the terms of compromise will form part of the decree. C.M.P.No.3515/1995 in A.S.No.456/1995 shall stand dismissed. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE nj.
