                    ---------------------------------------
             W.P.(C) No. 18888 of 2008 & 8422 of 2020
                 ---------------------------------------------
             Dated this the 23rd day of December, 2022


                                         JUDGMENT

When these two writ petitions came up for

consideration this court referred the matter for mediation. Now

a mediation report is submitted by the nodal officer, Ernakulam

mediation Centre, in which it is stated that the matter is settled.

A settlement agreement signed by both sides is also produced.

In the light of the same this writ petition can be closed. The

Counsel for the petitioner submitted that, as per clause 3 of the

agreement, the respondent agree and confirm that, she does

not have any objection in lifting the attachment order which is

in force of the properties of the petitioner company issued by

the deputy Collector revenue recovery, Kanjiraplly in connection

with the recovery of amount due as per order in SAC.No.03 of

2018, which is impugned in W.P.C.No.8422 of 2020 and further

consent for lifting the attachment as all her claims being

satisfied as per this settlement.

WP(C) Nos.18888 OF 2008 & 8422 of 2020 4

Hence it is submitted that, necessary orders may be

issued to the 1st respondent in W.P.(C).No.8422 of 2020. I think

such an order can be issued to the 1st respondent in the light of

settlement. Therefore, these two writ petitions are disposed of

in the following manner;

1. These writ petitions are disposed as settled in

the light of the settlement arrived between the

parties before the Ernakulam Mediation Centre.

2. The settlement dated 10.11.2022 entered

between the petitioner and the respondent will be

part of the judgment. Parties will follow the terms

of the agreement.

3. There will be a direction to the 1st respondent

in W.P(.C).No.8422/2020 to lift the attachment in

the light of the settlement.
