Compromise Deed (Razi Nama) Format in Urdu

When is a compromise deed needed?

When two sides settle a quarrel, over money, property, a family matter or a pending case, a compromise deed writes down what each has agreed to give up and to do, so the dispute cannot be reopened later.

Where it goes

If no case is pending, each side keeps a signed copy. If a civil case is pending, the compromise is filed in that court, which records it and passes its order in those terms. In a criminal case a compromise takes effect only for offences the law allows to be settled, and only when the court accepts it.

Points to get right

• Describe the dispute and the case number, if any, so it is clear what is being settled.
• Write each side’s obligations as separate points with dates: who pays what, who hands over what, who withdraws which case.
• It must be signed freely. A compromise obtained by pressure can be set aside.
• Serious criminal offences cannot be settled by a private deed. Ask the lawyer in the case before relying on one.
• All parties to the dispute have to sign, not only some of them.

Before you sign

These are general formats to save typing. Requirements differ between offices, courts and provinces, and a paper about property or money has legal effect. Have the final wording checked by a deed writer or lawyer, use stamp paper of the correct value, and get the paper attested or registered where that is required.
