      KURIAN, J.

1     Leave granted.

2.    At the time of issuing notice in the  matter,  having  regard  to  the
nature of disputes between two real brothers, a suggestion was made  by  the
Court that the possibility of an amicable settlement of the  disputes  could
be explored between the parties.

3     It is heartening to note that in the process the parties have  arrived
at an amicable settlement before the Supreme Court Mediation Centre and  the
Settlement Agreement dated 12.05.2016 has also been drawn up.  The  parties,
their counsel and Shri K.D.Singh, learned Mediator, Supreme Court  of  India
have duly signed the deed.  We  record  our  appreciation  for  the  efforts
taken by the Mediator and for the  cooperation  given  by  the  parties  and
their learned counsel.

                                    - 2 -

4     The appeal is disposed of in terms of the Settlement  Agreement  dated
12.05.2016.

5     In that view of the matter, nothing survives in First  Appeal  No.  62
of 2012 pending before the High Court of Uttarakhand at Nainital  and  hence
the same is also disposed of.     Registry to communicate  a  copy  of  this
Judgment to the High Court.
