A compromise was entered into between the parties before the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, where one of the stipulation of the compromise was "any defect in tractor during warranty will be removed on the expenses of Company".

It is also further prayed that this Court may also award any other relief which this Learned Court may deem fit."
COUNSEL for the petitioner submits that no prayer was made for any defect in the vehicle. However, we have gone through para No. 13 of the complaint, which is also reproduced here as under: - "13. That after compromise the opposite party No. 1 removed the following defects, battery, light, alternator, brake, horn, starting problem, bearing, but rest of the defects eg. abnormal heating of heat meter, speed - time meter, Oil Meter, (not indicating the position of diesel), abnormal noise in engine, abnormal sound in hydraulic as well as oil leakage and wobbling in wheels were persisted and the papers of the Tractor were also not provided till January, 2007".
THUS , it is for the District Forum to find out whether there any defect exists or not. The Revision Petition is without merit and the same is therefore, dismissed. However, the District Forum is directed to expedite the case and decide it as early as it is possible.
