In Brief
A mother and her two children disputed the partition of family property in the Supreme Court. Rather than adjudicate, the Court facilitated mediation through a senior counsel, resulting in an amicable settlement. The Court recorded the settlement, directed the trial court to implement it, awarded remuneration to the mediating counsel, and disposed of the appeal without costs. The judgment reflects the Court's preference for consensual resolution of family disputes over contested litigation.
