Setting aside a decree after compromise

Whether a third party has to file suit for setting aside the suit for partition, which was compromised after preliminary decree, withdrawn by a compromise before Legal Services Authority, and court fee was refunded ?
( 1)A suit was filed for setting aside earlier expartee decree for playing fraud with forged documents making all legal heirs of the plaintiff in expartee decreed suit as parties..

 2) Immediately after receiving legal  notices and  after coming to know of preparations for  filing a suit by third party, those parties, partitioned the property after preliminary decree in their partition suit  through a compromise before Legal Services Authority.and also withdrawn the partition suit, claimed refund of  court fee

3), The parties have quoted the judgment / prelimary decree in compromise deed, partitioned and  disposed property.

4) Whether  plaintiff (Third party) who hads filed for setting it aside of the first expartee decree (Fraud/fored documents), has to specifically pray for setting aside the second partition suit also or can ignore such prayers as the original expartee suit decree cuts the main root, and as all subsequent transactions automatically treated as void as property was obtained through a void ab initio document in earlier suit by their ancestor.

You can go for declaration suit calling for cancellation of all the sale deeds done alleging fraud played by the concerned parties.
