The said Soundararajan filed A.S.No.209 of 1979 on the file of this Court and the same was dismissed by this Court on 12.2.1986. The said Soundararajan filed R.C.M.P.No.3891of 1996 for reviewing the judgment dated 12.02.1986 made in A.S.No.209 of 1979. While so at the behest of this Court the said Soundararajan and the petitioner entered into a compromise. This Court recorded the memo of compromise in the review application and passed orders in the review application on 23.04.1990. As per the memo of compromise the said Soundararajan agreed to pay Rs.33,00,000/ - to the petitioner. He has to pay a sum of Rs.2,00,000/ - on or before 15.7.1990 and a sum of Rs.6,00,000 per year of Rs.3,00,000/ - per half year on or before 15.7.1991, 15.7.1992, 15.7.1993 and 15.7.1994 and Rs.7,00,000/ - on or before 15.7.1995. The amounts to be paid in instalments will carry interest at 12% per annum to be paid on or before 10th of every quarter i.e., once in three months. In the default clause it has been agreed that if the said Soundararajan commits default for more than a year he must surrender possession of the land to the petitioner.
(3.) THE said Soundararajan defaulted the payment of instalments. The petitioner filed E.P.No.111 of 1994 for recovery of possession. The said E.P. was dismissed in view of stay granted by this Court in CMP No.5991 of 1994 in AAO No.435 of 1994. The said AAO was dismissed on 6.11.1995. The petitioner again filed execution petition for recovery of possession which was numbered as E.P.No.77 of 2006. The Soundararajan filed counter affidavit opposing the same on the ground that E.P. is time barred. The said Soundararajan died on 24.3.2007. The first respondent claims that she is legally wedded wife while 5th respondent claims that she alone is legally wedded wife of the said Soundararajan. Both first and fifth respondents and their children are impleaded as respondents 1 to 8. Respondents 9 and 10 were impleaded as they claim to be trustees of suit property entitled to manage it. After being impleaded the respondents 1 to 8 filed counter affidavit. The respondents sought for dismissal of E.P. mainly on the ground that the said E.P. was barred by limitation.
