In Brief
Bhushan Steel Strips Ltd. appealed against a judgment regarding disciplinary proceedings initiated against the respondents. During the pendency of the appeal before the Supreme Court, the parties negotiated and entered into a settlement agreement dated 12.10.2017.

No substantive adjudication on the merits of the disciplinary proceedings was undertaken, as the parties' mutual agreement superseded the need for further litigation.
