Separate Suit to Set Aside Consent Decree Not Maintainable under O.23 R.3 CPC | Calcutta HC Clarifies Jurisdiction
The Calcutta HC ruled that a separate suit to set aside a consent decree under Order 23 Rule 3 CPC is not maintainable; only the court that recorded the decree can decide its validity. This bars parallel litigation and upholds the sanctity of settlement agreements.
