compromise Decree operates as Estoppel but does not operate as Res judicata.
compromise Decree is drawn on the basis of the agreement or compromise reached between the contesting parties during the pendency of the suit.
it is therefore not outcome of adjudication by the court.
A compromise Decree is merely an authentication by the court of the terms on which rival parties have agreed to settle the dispute involved in suit.
