COMPROMISE DEED (RAZINAMA)
This compromise deed is made at Khanna, District Ludhiana on 1 April 2026.
It is made between Harjinder Singh, son of Gurdev Singh, aged 58 years, resident of Village Rasulra, Tehsil Khanna, District Ludhiana (the First Party), and Balwinder Singh, son of Gurdev Singh, aged 52 years, resident of House No. 2231, Street No. 4, Guru Nanak Nagar, Khanna, District Ludhiana (the Second Party). Each of these expressions includes that party's heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. The parties are real brothers and co-sharers in the land their father left.
- 1. The Property and how it is held. This deed concerns agricultural land measuring 16 kanals 8 marlas in the revenue estate of Village Rasulra, Tehsil Khanna, District Ludhiana, with the tubewell and the room built on it (the Property), recorded as Khewat No. 112, Khatauni No. 131, Khasra Nos. 45//12 (8-0) and 45//19 (8-8), as per the jamabandi for the year 2021-22, Hadbast No. 211. The land was bought by Gurdev Singh, the father of both parties, under sale deed No. 2211 dated 14 June 1988 registered with the Sub-Registrar, Khanna. After his death on 9 March 2019 the First Party had it entered in his sole name by mutation No. 3318, which the Second Party disputes. The Property lies within the sub-district of the Sub-Registrar, Khanna, and changes to its ownership record are entered by the Tehsildar, Khanna.
- 2. The dispute. After their father died in 2019 the First Party claimed the whole land under a family arrangement said to have been made in 2012, while the Second Party claimed a half share as a natural heir and objected to the First Party cultivating all of it. The parties also quarrelled over the tubewell and the path to it. In this deed all of that is called the Dispute. The Dispute is the subject of Civil Suit No. 1452 of 2024, Balwinder Singh v. Harjinder Singh, for declaration and permanent injunction, pending in the court of the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Khanna, next fixed for 3 October 2026 (the Pending Case).
- 3. How the Dispute was settled. The parties have talked the Dispute over with the help of Sarpanch Kulwant Singh and other respected residents of Village Rasulra, and have agreed to end it on the terms of this deed, each of them acting freely and without pressure, fraud or undue influence from anyone. They mean these terms to settle the Dispute finally, and to replace every claim either of them has made in it, in writing, in a case or by word of mouth.
- 4. What the settlement does. The Property is divided between the parties by metes and bounds: each party becomes sole owner of the portion clause 5 gives it, and gives up to the other every right in the other portion. Nothing in this deed gives either party a right in any property other than the Property unless this deed names that property expressly, and nothing in it is an admission by either party about any other property or any other person.
