NAGINDAS RAMDAS versus DALPATRAM ICHHARAM@ BRIJRAM AND ORS.

A compromise decree for eviction under the Bombay Rent Act is not a nullity if, at the time it was passed, there was some material before the court—such as clear admissions in the compromise—constituting a statutory ground for eviction; the executing court cannot go behind such a decree and must execute it if such material exists.
