ORDERUmesh Chandra Banerjee, CJ1. Section 96(3) has been engrafted on to the Code of Civil Procedure in order to avoid repetition of adjudicatory process between the parties in the event of there being a decree passed by consent of the parties. It is on this perspective, the observations of the Supreme Court in the case of K.C. Dora v. Annamanaidu. : [1974]2SCR655 seem to be very apposite. In paragraph 59 of the report, the Supreme Court observed:'Be that as it may, the bar to an appeal against a consent decree, in sub-section (3) of Section 96 of the Code is based on the broad principle of estoppel.

Therefore, as soon as the parties made the agreement to abide by the determination in the appeal (AS.668) and induced the Court to pass a decree in terms of that agreement, the principle of estoppel underlying Sectio...
