Hon’ble Delhi High Court while dealing with a petition here on 20-02-2019 in the case of “Doris v. Denial and Ors.” stated that appellant cannot have any locus to argue for the respondent if the respondent itself is not questioning.

BRIEF FACTS OF THE CASE

Appellant entered into a settlement agreement before the Mediation Centre in the trial court, with each page being signed by all the parties including the present appellant, and the trial court thus held that the settlement agreement is valid.

The trial court held that convenient allegations made by the appellant that there is fraud and misrepresentation, have to be rejected, inasmuch as, there are no particulars which are given of any fraud or misrepresentation.

Appellant argued that they have not received any amounts in terms of the Settlement agreement and further argued that respondent no. 6 was not properly represented.

DECISION OF THE COURT

Court held that it is not possible to understand how the appellant can have any locus to argue this issue for the respondent no. 6 when the respondent no. 6 is not questioning the Settlement Agreement himself.

Thus, the appeal was found completely frivolous and dismissed with costs of Rs. 15,000/- which will be deposited by the appellant with the website www.bharatkeveer.gov.in within a period of four weeks.
