In Brief
Two aged brothers, embroiled in a partition dispute since 1987, reached an amicable settlement through Court intervention. The Supreme Court disposed of the appeal on agreed terms: Respondent No. 1 to pay Rs. 36 lakhs to the appellant within 12 months; appellant to vacate the disputed premises within 24 hours of payment. The settlement conclusively resolves all disputes regarding partition and gift deed, barring further litigation between the parties. The Court emphasized family restoration and harmony at the parties' advanced age (83 and 87 years)."
