R.C.R No.254 of 2016 & |.A No.2 of 2019 Dated this the 410" day of February, 2021 ORDER
A.HARIPRASAD, J Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and respondents.
2. Revision petitioners/tenants aggrieved by an order of eviction passed by the Rent Control Court and Rent Control Appellate Authority under Section 11(4)(iv) of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965 (in short 'the Act') have approached this Court. While the matter is pending here, the parties have settled the disputes between them and filed a compromise petition under Order XXIII Rule 3 C.P.C setting out the
terms and conditions.
3 On perusal of the terms of the compromise, we find that they have lawfully adjusted their claims. In the meantime, the revision petitioners filed an affidavit dated 12-10-2019 stating that cheque for
Rs.5,00,000/- (Rupees five lakhs only) given in terms of the compromise
could not be encashed and therefore the petitioners requested not to
record the compromise.
4. Learned counsel submitted that the revision petitioners are withdrawing their contentions in the affidavit and they have no objection in
recording the compromise.
In the result, the revision petition is disposed of in terms of the compromise. We record the compromise. It shall form part of the order of this Court.
All pending interlocutory applications will stand closed.
