The appellant challenged the award passed by the Lok
Adalat before the High Court, where Original Suit No. 68

According to the learned senior counsel appearing for
the appellant, he was neither a party to the suit nor to
the settlement. According to the learned counsel for
the respondents, the appellant is not an affected party.
