The District Collector cum Appellate Authority for Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens, Tiruppur District and others). The petition, filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, sought a writ of certiorari to quash an order dated 19.06.2025 issued by the first respondent in Mu.Mu.17201/2024/E1.

Recording the joint submission of counsel, the Court made the Settlement Agreement and the Mediation Report part and parcel of the order, disposed of the writ petition on those terms, closed the connected miscellaneous petitions, and awarded no costs. Non-speaking disposal on settlement; the merits of the impugned order were not adjudicated and no precedent is laid down.
