The petitioner acted as a mediator in a case between the 1st respondent and the 3rd respondent, who are man and wife and got them to sing a settlement. A copy of the same is Ext.P1 in the writ petition. Thereafter, the 1st respondent wanted the petitioner to hand over that settlement to him. The petitioner refused to oblige the 1st respondent. The 1st respondent filed a complaint before the 2nd respondent-Bar Council of Kerala, on which, proceedings have been initiated by the Bar Council. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging the same and seeking the following reliefs: “(i) To call for the records relating to Exhibit P1 to Exhibit P5. (ii) To issue any writ, order or direction directing the 2nd Respondent not to proceed with Exhibit P2 since Exhibit P1 agreement is an incomplete one.” 2. The notice issued to the 3rd respondent has been returned with the postal endorsement “refused”. That amounts to service of notice on the 3rd respondent. Therefore, the 3rd respondent is declared to have been served with notice. 3. With a little persuasion the parties have come to an amicable settlement in this matter on the following terms: w.p.c.20875/09 2 The original agreement would be deposited with the 2nd respondent-Bar Council, if not already deposited. The Bar Council shall retain the same and forward it to the concerned court as and when that court requires production of the same. Either the 1st respondent or the 3rd respondent may file a petition before the appropriate court for production of that agreement. On the above conditions, the proceedings initiated pursuant to Ext.P2 complaint before the Bar Council would stand closed. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
