Perusal of the record as well as impugned order shows that the fact whether the revisionists have received a sum of Rs.2,00000/- in their account or not and the factum of the compromise entered between the

parties can only be taken into consideration after the evidence of the witness are taken on these points. There appears to be no illegality in the order impugned.

The revision being devoid of merit is accordingly dismissed.
