M.Umayal Achi (Died) v. Meenakshi Achi@Saraswathi Achi

JUDGMENT The appeal is filed against the judgment and decree of the Trial Court passed in O.S.No.41 of 2008 declaring plaintiff's' 1/5th share in the suit property which was purchased under registered sale deed 21.01.1974. The preliminary decree further directed that the plaintiffs and the first defendant will have to work out their remedy in the final decree proceedings if the properties are indivisible in nature.

¶2The first defendant/appellant aggrieved by the judgment and decree of the trial Court preferred the above appeal. Pending the appeal as the first defendant/appellant died, his legal heirs were impleaded and came on record as appellants 2 to 6.

¶3Both the learned counsels filed a memo under Order XXIII of CPC stating that the matter has been settled between the parties. As per the memo, the parties have agreed to enjoy the suit properties as it is and further, the respondents 1 to 4/plaintiffs in the suit have agreed to have preliminary decree, dated 30.08.2013 passed in O.S.No.41 of 2008 on the file of the learned District Judge, Sivagangai set aside by recording that the prayer in the suit are not pressed.

¶4The respondents 1 to 4/plaintiffs are present before this Court and have acknowledged the signature in the memo of compromise. The third appellant is also present before this Court and he has acknowledged the signature in the memo of compromise and confirmed the same.

¶5The appeal is therefore disposed of by recording the memo of compromise. There shall be no order as to costs. The compromise memo shall form part and parcel of the decree. The defendants 2 to 4, who are respondents 5 to 7 in the appeal remained ex-parte before the Court below and no decree has been passed in their favour or against them. Therefore, they are not necessary for the compromise memo. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
