1. Pursuant to the order dated 31.1.2017, both the parties are present in court.

2. On the last date of hearing, it had been enquired from learned counsels for the parties if they would be ready and willing to negotiate a settlement with each other. Learned counsel for the appellant had stated that he wanted to obtain instructions. Today, he states that that appellant is ready and willing to negotiate a settlement with the respondent and offers to pay him the principal amount of Rs.4,39,000/-. The said suggestion is however unacceptable to the respondent.

3. Learned counsel for the respondent states that his client has not only incurred huge amounts towards the court fee and litigation expenses but also RFA 91/2017 Page 1 of 2 suffered loss in terms of money. He states that as on date, the interest awarded by the trial court on the principal amount itself comes to Rs.92,000/-(approximate).

4. After further interaction, the parties agree that the appellant shall pay a sum of Rs.4,80,000/- to the respondent in the full and final settlement of all his claims in the suit, in the following manner:

a) The first instalment of Rs.1,00,000/- shall be paid to the respondent on or before 16.3.2017;

6. The appellant has been cautioned that in the event he commits a breach of any of the conditions of settlement as recorded above, the respondent shall be entitled to seek execution of the impugned judgment and decree in accordance with law. This is over and above the liberty granted to the respondent to approach the court by filing a contempt petition against the appellant.

7. The appeal is disposed of along with the pending applications.
