The petitioner-defendant is aggrieved of the impugned order dated 25.02.2016, declining the application for deciding the appeal on merits after setting aside the order dated 12.05.2014, vide which the appeal has been withdrawn, in view of the compromise arrived at between the parties, who, are none else but father and son.

appeal on merits. In pursuance to the settlement arrived at between the parties, father has failed to perform his act, thus, prays for setting aside of the order.

¶22

I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner-defendant and appraised the paper book.

¶23

On going through the contents of the statement of compromise, there is no condition imposed vis-a-vis giving share to the son, thus, there is no performance of voluntary act on behalf of the father which necessitated the petitioner to move an application for deciding the appeal on merits, therefore, rightly so, the application has been dismissed.

¶24

In view of the aforementioned observations, there is no illegality and perversity in the impugned order, much less, the same cannot be said to have been passed without jurisdiction.

¶25

Accordingly, the revision petition is dismissed.
