 2018 CLC Note 112

Both husband and wife got recorded their statements before the court that they had settled the matter in terms of compromise deed placed on record. After five months of passing of orders for disposal of matter on basis of compromise, the husband challenged the same by denying his thumb impressions on compromise deed as well as on the sideline of court order sheet and the matter was referred to Finger Print Bureau, which reported that thumb impressions on both the documents were identical with the sample obtained from the husband. Court rightly declined to set-aside the order previously passed by the court, whereby matter had been disposed of on the basis of consenting statement of parties. Besides presumption of truth is attached to a judicial proceeding.
