dated 12.03.2022 on the ground of fraud and coercion. Subsequently, in view of the judgment of ‘ State of Punjab v. Jalour Singh and others ’ 2008 (2) SCC 660 and ‘Bhargavi Constructions another v. Kothakapu Muthyam Reddy and others’ 2018 (13) SCC 480. The prelitigation case has been withdrawn on 02.09.2023 and then the present writ petition has been filed. He would further submit that the respondents, by suppressing the fact that the lands of khasra No. 208/1 and 208/2 are different lands, as it mentioned in the compromise deed that both the lands are one and same having area of 3.53 acres and by pressurizing the petitioner to sign the compromise deed obtained an order in their favour from the National Lok Adalat. The contents of the said compromise deed was not shown to him and even it was not read over to him. The terms and conditions of the compromise deed was not on his free will, but under the coercion. He would also submit that in the revenue records produced by the petitioner, the land of khasra No. 208/1 and 208/2 clearly appears to be different land. The land of khasra No. 208/2, area 2.00 acres is the only source of livelihood of the petitioner, but by the fraud and coercion by the respondents, it goes in their favour and the petitioner is being deprived by his livelihood, therefore, the impugned award dated 12.03.2022 passed by the National Lok Adalat, Bench No.2, Mungeli in Civil Suit No. 31-A/2018 may be set aside and the matter may be remitted back to the learned trial Court for adjudication on merits.
