In Brief
Two parties involved in a property dispute that had spanned over 25 years approached the Supreme Court challenging a High Court judgment. Rather than adjudicate the merits, the Court encouraged the parties to pursue amicable settlement through mediation. The parties, represented by their Power of Attorney Holders, participated in mediation conducted by the Bangalore Mediation Center and reached a settlement. The Court incorporated the signed settlement memorandum into its judgment, directing the parties to comply strictly with its terms, and disposed of the appeal.
