Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and having gone through the case records, it appears that the original suit being registered as Special Civil Suit No.144 of 1987 was filed by one Kesharbhai Patel for the partition of the suit property.

The appeal was withdrawn on 3/11/2004, on the ground that there was a settlement arrived at between the parties, consequently, final decree was passed by an order dtd. 3/5/2005. The present petitioner moved review application under Order XLIII Rule 1 before the learned Principal Judge, Bhuj on 13/6/2005, mainly on the ground that the final decree was passed contrary to the preliminary decree on the basis of concocted and false document and same was dismissed by the Court vide order dtd. 25/4/2007. The Appeal being RCA No.6/2012, filed against the final decree was disposed of by the learned Additional District Judge at Bhuj-Kutch vide order dtd. 13/9/2021 and it was partly allowed.
