JUDGMENT

Ramachandran Nair, J.

The disputes between the parties have been settled by mediation and the mediation agreement has been made available to this court by the learned Mediator. We have perused the agreement and the same is signed by the parties and the learned counsels.

The appeal is therefore disposed of as settled, and we

make it clear that the terms of settlement will form part of the judgment and decree. The court fee paid on the memorandum of appeal is refunded to the appellant. No costs.
