Thankyou for your clear explanation🙂. I am one person effected with this act of GPA holder.

When i approched the HC for cancellation of this Compromise deed done in HC( in the year 1999), court refused to listen and denied my right, saying GPA granter is not questioned this during his life time ( he died in the year 2010)and as l legar heir i cannot question this now☹️.

I request you to kindly show me a way to over come this hurdle.
