If once settlement is made it cannot be reopened unless any fraud is done shud be proved.

IT might be possible if one of the party has not honored the settlement.

There should be breach of such terms and conditions mentioned in settlement deed and the case must be within such limitation period.   How the case  ended is also material as there may be several reasons for closure like Parties voluntarily withdrawing, court dismissing the case for non attendance etc.  But it the compromise settlement  was through Lokadalat, it can not be reopened.

Thank you for all response, the reason of reopen is that opposite party didn't honor the settlement agreement even after 8 months. How much period is allowed to file the application for reopening?
