An independent suit challenging compromise/consent decree on ground that it is not lawful is not maintainable. Proper remedy for challenging compromise/consent decree on ground that it is not lawful, reiterated, is to approach the same court, which had passed the compromise/consent decree, which the plaintiff in present case had already done by filing an appropriate application. Said application, held, to be decided in accordance with law, though the plaint in the suit in question had been rightly rejected.
