Once the compromise is recorded and the award becomes final, the unsuccessful party cannot resile from it.

Execution was therefore permitted to proceed. en-us Wed, 14 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 08 Feb 2018 17:10:20 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198771 A Lok Adalat award passed on a voluntary compromise in a cheque dishonour matter has the force of a civil court decree under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, and is final, binding and executable between the parties.
