Sunita Gupta Vs Inderjeet Singh & Anr

Decided on 31.01.11 by Delhi High Court as
A compromise is nothing but an agreement. The imprimatur of the Court in accepting the compromise and in passing a decree in terms thereof, confers the said agreement with the status of a lawful contract.

Biman Chatterjee Vs Sanchita Chatterjee, AIR 2004 SC 1699

the High Court was not justified in cancelling the bail on the ground that the appellant had violated the terms of the compromise…. The grant of bail under the Criminal Procedure Code is governed by the provision of Chapter XXXII of the Code and the provision therein does not contemplate either granting of a bail on the basis of an assurance of a compromise or cancellation of a bail for violation of the terms of such compromise. What the Court has to bear in mind while granting bail is what is provided for in Section 437 of the said Code.
