In Brief
A father and daughter settled a family dispute over property through Supreme Court mediation. They entered into a settlement agreement under which the father would purchase a new property for the daughter in exchange for her handing over certain family properties to him. After the Court approved this settlement, disputes arose over execution when the daughter claimed the father did not provide the promised property, and third parties claiming possession of some properties objected to the order. The Court held that the settlement agreement is binding and enforceable; third parties with only an unregistered agreement to sell have no legal title and cannot object. The Court directed full compliance with the settlement within four weeks, dismissing the third parties' objections but allowing the father's plea for full execution of the order.
