In Brief
In this civil appeal, the parties reported that their underlying dispute had been settled. The Supreme Court, on an earlier hearing, directed the District Judge of Agra to verify whether there was a genuine settlement by examining the cancellation deed and confirmation of payment. Upon receiving the District Judge's report confirming genuine settlement between the parties, the Court allowed the interlocutory applications to place additional documents on record and dismissed the appeal as infructuous, having lost its subject matter and utility.
