This appeal by certificate granted by the Circuit Bench of the Punjab High Court at Delhi is governed by the decision of this Court in Bahadur Singh vs Munl Subrat Dass(1). (1) [1969] 2 S	C.R. 1041 The facts out of which the present appeal arises are these. One Raghunath Sharma	 predecessor m interest of the appellants hereinafter referred to as the plaintiff instituted on February 7	 1956	 suit No. 53 of 1956 in the Court of Subject 1st Class	 Delhi	 for the eviction of his tenant	 K.L. Bansal	 hereinafter referred to as the defendant. He gave three grounds for ejectment in the plaint: (1 ) that the premises were required bona fide by the plaintiff for occupation as residence for himself and other members of the family	 and that he had no other	 suitable accommodation to meet his bona fide residential requirements; (2) that the defendant already owned a house in Delhi which was suitable for him; and (3) that the defendant had defaulted in payment of rent. The defendant flied a written statement denying these allegaltions. Appropriate issues were framed on April 4	 1956. On June 5	 1956	 an application was filed by the plaintiff and the defendant that a compromise had been effected on the following terms: "(a) Decree for ejectment be passed in favour of the plaintiff against the defendant	 the decree will be executable after the 31st December	 1958	 if the defendant does not give possession till then. (b) The standard rent of the premises be fixed at Rs. 40/ per mensem	 instead of Rs. 50/ paid at present payable from the 1st July	 1956	 till the defendant vacates the premises. (c) The amount	 in deposit with this Court be paid to the plaintiff which will be adjusted between the On July 6	 1956	 the counsel for the parties and the plaintiff made a statement on solemn affirmation to the same effect	 and on the same day the Court recorded the following order: "In view of the statement of the parties ' counsel and the written compromise	 a decree is passed in favour of the plaintiff against the defendant. " The decree was drawn up accordingly. The defendant	 however	 did not vacate the premises ' on December 31	 1958. On the other hand	 he presented an application on February 16	 1959	 under section 47	 C.P.C.	 challenging the validity of the decree alleging that the same had been passed in contravention of the provisions of section 13 of the Delhi and Ajmer Rent Control Act	 1952 (XXXVIII of 1952)	 (hereinafter referred to as the Act) and hence the decree was a nullity. He failed 1050 before the Sub Judge	 'and also 'on appeal before the Senior Sub Judge	 Delhi. The High Court	 on revision	 held that the decree was a nullity as the order passed on the basis of the compromise did not indicate that any of the statutory grounds mentioned in section 13 of the Act existed. In Bahadur Singh 's case(1) this Court held that the decree passed on the basis of an award was in contravention of section 13(1) of the Act became the Court had passed the decree in terms of the award without satisfying itself that the ground of eviction existed. Bachawat	 J	. speaking for the Court	 observed that "on the plain wording of section 13(1) the Court was forbidden to pass the decree. The decree is a nullity and cannot be enforced in execution." This Court	 accordingly	 declared inter alia that "the decree in so far as it directs delivery of possession of the premises to the landlord is a nullity and cannot be executed. " The present case is also governed by the provisions of section 13(1) of the Act and	 as we have said before	 this appeal must fail	 in view of the judgment of this Court in Bahadur Singh 's case(x). In the result the appeal is dismissed but there will be no order as to costs. R.K.P.S. Appeal dismissed.

The appellant plaintiffs filed a suit in February 1956	 for the eviction the respondent on the ground that the premises were required for their own use	 that the defendant already owned a suitable house of his own	 and that the respondent had defaulted in payment of rent	 after the defendant had flied a written statement and issues had been framed a joint application was made by them that a compromise had been effected. The trial court decreed the suit in the plaintiff 's favour in terms of the compromise which provided inter alia	 for the ejectment of the defendant after 31st December 1958	 and fixed the standard rent as agreed. The defendant	 however	 did not vacate the premises in December 1958	 and presented an application in February 1959 under section 47 C.P.C.	 challenging the validity of the decree alleging that it had been passed in contravention of the provision of Delhi and Ajmer Rent Control Act	 1952 and contending that the decree was	 therefore	 a nullity. He 'failed before the Sub Judge and also in appeal before the Senior Sub Judge. However	 the High Court in revision held in his favour. appeal to this Court	 HELD: The High Court has rightly held that the decree was a nullity as the order passed on the basis of the compromise did not indicate that any of the statutory grounds mentioned in section 13 of the Act existed.
