Judgment
We think the parties are bound by the terms of the compromise embodied in Exhibit-A, under which the plaintiff''s rights were limited to the
properties referred to in schedule B to the plaint which were to come to him after the death of the executant of Exhibit-A. The fact that the
executant subsequently acted in a manner inconsistent, with the compromise by denying the plaintiff''s title to the above lands does not, in our
opinion, justify the plaintiff in repudiating it. The compromise Exhibit-A finally settled the rights of the parties, and there was nothing more to be
done to give effect to it. In Srish Chandra Roy v. Banomali Roy 31 C.v 584 one party to the compromise sought specific performance of it and
was refused because there had been a failure of consideration on his part which disentitled him to enforce the contract. We must modify the decree
by awarding the plaintiff the properties in Schedule B of the plaint instead of all the properties in Schedule A.
The parties will pay and receive proportionate costs throughout.
The memorandum of objections is dismissed.
