In Brief
This case involved an eviction dispute that originated in 1992, with conflicting orders from the Trial Court and High Court. When the matter came before the Supreme Court, the judges sensed an opportunity for settlement and referred the parties to the Bangalore Mediation Centre with their consent. The parties successfully reached an amicable settlement through mediation and filed a signed Memorandum of Settlement. The Supreme Court disposed of the appeal by adopting the settlement terms and directing a decree to be drawn in accordance with the agreed settlement, with no orders as to costs.
