In Brief
Two siblings disputed their share of their deceased mother's estate based on competing Wills. After years of litigation and multiple mediation attempts, they reached an amicable settlement with the help of a senior counsel when the matter came before the Supreme Court. The Court disposed of the appeals and gave effect to the settlement agreement, prioritizing family harmony. Other respondents who had not contested their claims in lower courts were refused permission to pursue fresh claims at the appellate stage.
