Once sale deed is executed duly stamped and registered your mother is absolute owner of property 

 

2) compromise deed is binding upon parties 

 

3) if your father and brother killed by sister and her sons they would have to suffer consequences of their action and would be sentenced to imprisonment 

 

4) your mother can take proceedings of contempt of court if possession of land wa snot delivered 

 

5) partition deed would not be reopened by court

The partition suit was withdrawn due to the compromise but this unfortunate incident has happened. Therefore file a case against them for partition citing changed circumstances. Also the compromise has not been honoured and hence you can go again to the civil court.

If said dispute settled out of the court without MOU or Agreement then your mother can restore the same case.if case has been compromised in court then it may be not possible to reopen or restore same case.

Your mother can file an application before court restore the petition on ground that the compromise was done on false ground by coercion and further father and brother were murdered by them the court has power to restore same and set aside decree passed based on coercion.

See as the suit was withdrawn as settled then there may be chance court has not recorded the settlment now you can contest of said issue to set aside settlment .

Yea that is the reason you should contest the compromise as your mother was not educated and therefore didn't know the implications of the compromise agreement.

You need to challenge the said suit in appeallte court but limitation may hit you. Need to condone the delay if you want to challenge the earlier suit.

You should consult with an advocate with compromise statement copy.

Once compromise is recorded in partition suit it is binding upon parties 

 

after lapse of 9 years chances of court settling aside compromise are bleak

1. Was a consent decree passed by the court in 2009 wherein it was recorded that your mother will be given 1 acre of land? If the answer is in affirmative, and the said 1 acre of land was not sold to your mother then the remedy in her hands is to file execution petition to execute the decree passed by the civil court.

2. A fresh suit for partition will not be maintainable. 

3. Consult a lawyer with the complete file of the suit which you say was withdrawn by your mother.

If your mother had compromised and withdrawn the suit, it is to be known that whether the compromise agreement was acted upon by the authorities, if not then you can reopen the suit for partition on the same basis.

If your mother's sisters have given away the property by executing sale deed on her name, then actually speaking your mother did not get her share as per law instead she purchased the property which cannot be considered as compromise decree and theshare thereon.

Without seeing the relevant papers, more proper opinion cannot be rendered hence i is advisable that you consult with your advocate once again on the same lines and proceed if recommended to file a partition suit as proposed by you.

Without seeing the actual recitals in the compromise agreement, no concrete opinion  can be rendered.

You may better consult your local advocate or any other advocate in the local and get an information or opinion in person.
