In Brief
Shushma Mishra appealed a High Court judgment in a dispute with Hem Nath Mishra. The Supreme Court suggested mediation to resolve the matter. The parties successfully negotiated through a mediator and reached a settlement agreement dated 19 April 2016. Under the settlement, the respondent agreed to pay Rs. 7 lakhs to the appellant in two instalments. The Court disposed of the appeal, ordered all related proceedings—a money suit and a writ petition—to be dismissed, and directed that this settlement would constitute full and final resolution of all claims between the parties.
