37 S.B. CIVIL FIRST APPEAL NO.440/2007. Haji Abdul Munaf Vs. Raj Kumar Inderjeet Singh Date of Order :: 18th July 2008. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH MAHESHWARI Mr. Jitendra Chopra, for the appellant. Mr. M.C. Bhoot, for the respondents. ..... BY THE COURT: Learned counsel for the parties have made a mention and at request, the matter has been taken up out of turn. Though the persons added as respondents per the order dated 16.05.2008 are yet to be served, an application has been moved on behalf of the appellant with the submissions that the matter has been compromised between the parties in the spirit of Lok Adalat and the appellant does not want to proceed with this appeal any further and seeks permission to withdraw the appeal. Learned counsel Mr. M.C. Bhoot appearing for the plaintiff-respondent No.1 has no objection if the appeal is withdrawn. Learned counsel for the appellant has prayed for refund of the court fees. It is noticed that this appeal was admitted and the interim order was confirmed but the parties are said to have entered into compromise before the matter was ripe for hearing. In the circumstances of the case, it is considered appropriate and hence ordered that 50% of the amount of court fees as paid by the defendant-appellant may be refunded. With the observations aforesaid, the appeal is dismissed as withdrawn. There shall be no orders as to costs. (DINESH MAHESHWARI), J. Mohan/
