Pls any expert who can suggest on Setting Aside Compromise

Two properties were divided among three brothers after the death of my father Gurcharan Singh under the Arbitration Award. One property of Ludhiana came to my share and the second property of Mohali went jointly to my two brothers.ONE of my brother filed an objection petition under section34 for setting aside the award on the following ground,
1. that he has invested seven lac for
reconstruction of Ludhiana house.
that i had orally promised to pay twelwe lac on issue of TS 1 from MUNICIPAL CORP.a
AFTER that a compromise deed was signed where it was agreed that I will sell the house and pay Rs.549,000 to my brother and the compromise deed is read as under
That on receipt of RS.549000 ALL THE CLAIMS OF KULJIT SINGH IN RESPECT OF THE DECEASED GURCHARAN SINGH FATHER OF THE OBJECTER SHALL BE FULLY SETTLED.
I make it clear that the amount of seven lac and 12 lac is without any documentry proof andI THINK THAT IT WAS A GROUND FOR SETTING ASIDE THE AWARD AND THESE WERE NOT CLAIMS.
It is also mentioned that it is the part and parcel of the ARBITRATION award signed by two witnesses in which one witness is arbitrator.
I ALSO NEED ADVICE THAT AT THE TIME OF SIGNING THE COMPROMISE DEED MY COMPLAINT WAS LYING WITH THE POLICE AUTHRITESWHERE IT WAS WRITTEN THAT IF ANY THING HAPPENS TO ME MYBROTHER WILLBE RESPONSIBE AND ALSO MY TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION IN THE PSYCHIATRY DEPTT AND ALSO I REMAINED ADMITTED TO PSY WARDAFTER THREE MOTHS OF SIGNING THE DEED.

PLEASE ADVICE THAT COMPROMISE DEED CAN BE SET ASIDE ON THE ABOVE GROUNDS.
SECONDLY IF THE DEED IS IMPLEMENTED WHETHER I HAVE T0 PAY MY BROTHER Rs,549000 or more
It is requested that detailed reply be given.

insustrial dispute

WE HAD TWO UNITS OPERATING UNDER THE SAME NAME. ONE OF THE UNITS LOCATED IN HARYANA WAS CLOSED AND THE WORKERS RAISED DISPUTE BY NOT ACCEPTING THE COMPENSATION OFFERED TO THEM. FOUR OF THE WORKERS MANAGED TO GET THE AWARD EXPARTE IN THEIR FAVOUR FOR CONTINUITY OF SERVICE WITH BACK WAGES. WHILE THE REST PURSUED THE CASE AT THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNAL. WE MANAGED TO SETTLE THE DISPUTE BY PAYING THE WORKERS INCLUDING THREE OF THE WORKERS WHO HAD EXPARTE AWARD IN THEIR FAVOUR. THIS WAS DONE IN THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNAL ITSELF. ALL THE WORKERS ACCEPTED THE COMPENSATION AND RELENQUISHED ALL THEIR RIGHTS. BUT ONE WORKER WHO HAS AWARD IN HIS FAVOUR HAS APPROACHED THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNAL FOR COMPUTATION OF BACKWAGES TILL DATE INCLUDING THE BENEFITS WHICH WERE AVAILABLE WHILE THE UNIT WAS FUNCTIONING? IS THIS CLAIM TENABLE?
