JUDGMENT
when this Suit was called today, the learned counsel for the parties ate ad idem lhat the disputes between their clients have been setiled under the aegis of the Ernakulam Mediation Centre, Ernakulam. They pointed out that a Memorandum of joint settlement has also been placed on record.
2. I have examined the Memorandum referred above and notice that it has been signed by the parties, as also by their learned counsel; and therefore, see no reason why it cannot be accepted.
In the afore circumstances, accepting the joint settlement between the parties, I close this suit without any further orders;
thus directing the parties to act impticitly in terms of the said settlement.
Needless to say, since the matter has been settled through
Mediation, the plaintiff will not be liable to make payment of the
court Fee, even though they were allowed to sue as indigenf going by the mandate of Section 69 of the Kerala Court Fees and
Suits Valuation Act, i.g5g.
