Dear sir /madam,

The decree has been passed in the year of 1994. Since the suit is barred by limitation you can only go an appeal by filing a necessary application and if the court considers that there is a sufficient cause/reason for delay in filing an appeal than it will allow your appeal. Good luck:)

Thanks and regards -

Almost 23 years have passed since the date of Decree. The period of limitation for filing of Appeal has already expired. Hence, the Defendants cannot go on an appeal against the Decree dated 1994 since the period of limitation to appeal has expired. Since there is no possibility for the Defendants to file Appeal, the question of missing Written Statement does not arise.

Your say is not clear about consent decree. Whether it was compromised in the court? Is there any compromise decree. If it is compromised and there is a compromise decree, even if the sons of defendant challenged the decree , it is not maintainable. It is decreed in the year 1984, if sons wants to file an appeal they have to explain delay. Moreover decree is binding on them.
