JUDGMENT
Both the plaintiff and the contesting defendant have filed a
Settlement Agreement and therefore, they do not wish to proceed further
with the suit and an endorsement has been made to that effect by the
learned Counsel for the plaintiff and the first defendant.
2. Under these circumstances, the suit along with the Counter
Claim is dismissed as withdrawn.
3. Considering the fact that the case has not proceeded further
with the trial and no issues have been framed, I am inclined to order
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis C.S.(Comm.Div.)No.74 of 2022
refund of the Court Fee in terms of Section 69-A of the Tamil Nadu
Court-Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1955. Registry is therefore directed
to refund the Court Fee paid by the plaintiff and the first defendant after
due adjustments, in accordance with the provisions of the Tamil Nadu
Court-Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1955, within a period of four weeks
from today. No costs. Consequently, connected Original Application
and Applications are closed.
