In Brief
In this case, two civil appeals arising from Special Leave Petitions were disposed of by the Supreme Court after the parties filed a settlement agreement before the court. The judge granted leave and noted that both sides had settled their disputes outside court. The appeals were then disposed of in terms of the settlement agreement, which was incorporated as part of the judgment. No costs were awarded. This judgment affirms the court's willingness to facilitate settlement and provide closure to litigation when parties reach a consensual resolution.
