and we notice that it has been signed by the parties and

subscribed by their counsel. The terms of the agreement are

lawful and therefore the settlement arrived at by the parties is

accepted.

parties, Mat.Appeal No.844/2024 is dismissed as withdrawn and

Mat.A Nos.790/2024 and 845/2024 are disposed of in terms of

the settlement arrived at by the parties.
