The Sale Deed dated 04/01/2023 executed by Respondent No. 11 in favour of Respondent No.29, Sri. Jagadeesh, vide Annexure N10." 3. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the petitioners having filed separate suits in O.S.Nos.52/2007 and 53/2007, for declaration, injunction and a compromise decree in R.A.No.58/2006 being not binding on the petitioners, the said compromise decree in R.A.No.58/2006 has been declared to be not binding on the petitioners and injunction has been granted though the reliefs for declaration of title in O.S.Nos.52/2007 and 53/2007 have been dismissed. 4. An Execution petition filed in the said suits is still pending consideration on account of an obstruction application filed under Rule 97, Order XXI of the Code of Civil Procedure. - 12 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:48469 WP No. 28452 of 2025 5. In such circumstances, I am of the considered opinion that the reliefs which have been sought for, for cancellation of Sale Deeds cannot be maintainable in a writ petition. Directing the Court of the Principal Civil Judge and JMFC at Hassan, to consider and dispose of the application filed under Rule 97, Order XXI of the CPC, as expeditiously as possible, the petition stands disposed.
