In Brief
Rajesh Chugh and another, tenants of a small bookshop in New Delhi, appealed against the reversal of a Rent Controller's order. During the appeal's pendency before the Supreme Court, the parties negotiated and executed a Memorandum of Settlement. The agreement required the tenants to vacate and deliver possession by 31 August 2018 without creating third-party rights, in exchange for ₹20 lakh from the landlord. The Court accepted the settlement, disposed of the appeal, and directed strict compliance under threat of contempt proceedings.
