THIS WP IS FILED UNDER ARTICLE 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO A) QUASHING THE ORDER DATED 15/07/2026 PASSED BY THE LEARNED 1ST ADDITIONAL CITY CIVIL AND SESSIONS JUDGE (CCH-2), BENGALURU, IN O.S. NO.6246/2022 ON I.A. NO.9 VIDE ANNEXURE-A.

THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE LALITHA KANNEGANTI

ORAL ORDER Aggrieved by the order passed in O.S.No.6246/2022 dated 15.07.2026 by the I Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge, Bengaluru, the petitioner is before this Court

¶2The petitioner, who is the tenant, is before this Court, and respondent No.1 has filed the suit. In the said suit, the parties have entered into a compromise. As per the compromise, the petitioner is required to deliver possession of the property by 14.08.2026. It is the case of the petitioner that his daughter's marriage is scheduled to be held on 30.10.2026. Hence, he is seeking an extension of time to vacate the

scheduled premises. Accordingly, he has filed an application under Section 151 of the CPC before the trial Court. By the impugned order, the trial Court has dismissed the application.

¶3While dismissing the application, the Trial Court has observed that, after contesting the suit for four years, the defendants, under a compromise petition, agreed to vacate the scheduled premises. The compromise was entered into before the Lok Adalat. The Trial Court has no jurisdiction to review the decision of the Lok Adalat. Hence, both parties are bound by and directed to abide by the terms of the compromise.

¶4Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that he has not made any independent request. He submits that, as the daughter's marriage is fixed, he may be granted reasonable time to deliver possession of the house. He further submits that the trial Court has failed to consider this.

¶5This is an award passed by the Lok Adalat. If there is any violation of the award, the only remedy available is to seek its execution, and the Court cannot interfere with the

award, modify, alter, or extend the terms and conditions of the said compromise decree.

¶6If that is the same, the litigation will have no end. In the considered opinion of this Court, the Trial Court has rightly dismissed the application, and there is no ground to interfere with the impugned order. In view of the above discussions, this Court is passing the following: ORDER i. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. ii. Pending IAs, if any, shall stand closed.
