Learned counsel for the parties jointly submitted that matter was referred for mediation vide order dated 27.11.2024 passed in the instant application by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court. The mediation report dated 20.08.2025 is on record which shows " mediation completed and agreement enclosed". The original copy of the settlement agreement is also on record, which specifically sets out the terms and conditions of the compromise reached between the parties. Again, settlement agreement reflects that all the disputes and differences, in regard to the cases between the parties, have been amicably settled by the parties through the process of conciliation/mediation. Opposite party no.2 is ready to withdraw the prosecution of the applicant and in view of the compromise, no fruitful purpose would be served if the prosecution is allowed to go on. 4. Learned A.G.A. submitted that both the parties have settled their dispute out of the court, hence, there exists no reason to proceed further. 5.
