ORDERF.I. Rebello, J.1. The appellants aggrieved by the order dated 24th July, 1988 passed by the Company Law Board, Western Region Bench, Mumbai, have preferred the present appeal.

ORDERT.K. Chandrashekhara Das, J.1. A startling and strange situation emerges from this writ petition. The petitioner is plaintiff in Short Cause Suit No. 422 of 1989. That suit was ended by passing a compromise decree on 13-3-1989. According to the terms of compromise, the suit Hotel known as Bismilla Hotel, was to be vacated by the respondent after 5 years. After the lapse of 5 years it is alleged that the respondent did not vacate the suit hotel. Not only that, he took out a Notice of Motion out of which the writ petition has arisen for setting aside the compromise decree. The contention of the respondent before the Court below was total denial of knowledge of the compromise decree. He pleaded that he was not aware of the suit, he did not receive the suit summons and he did not engage any lawyer. In this background, the lower Court has considered the contention.2. It is revealed from the Court's records, that on 7-2-1989, in the Short Cause Suit No. 422 of 1989 on the file of the Ci...
