Prakash Kaur Vs. Avtar Singh
10.03.2026
Present: Sh. Sumit Gaba, Ld. counsel for the plaintiff alongwith
plaintiff.
Sh. Naval Kishore, Ld. Counsel for defendant
alongwith defendant.
A perusal of the record reveals that the matter is
presently pending for addressing further arguments on the
application filed by the plaintiff under Order XV-A CPC (Delhi
Amendment). It is further noticed that in the ordersheet dated
24.11.2025, the said application has inadvertently been recorded as
an application under Order VIII Rule 10 CPC.
However, from the record and the nature of the
application filed by the plaintiff, it is clear that the application is in
fact under Order XV-A CPC (Delhi Amendment). Accordingly, the
ordersheet dated 24.11.2025 is corrected to the said extent, and the
reference to
Order VIII Rule 10 CPC therein shall be read as a
reference to Order XV-A CPC (Delhi Amendment). The necessary
endorsement to this effect be made at the foot of the ordersheet dated
24.11.2025 so as to reflect the correct provision under which the
application has been moved.
It further transpires from the record that when the said
application was partly heard and was pending consideration, the
matter was, with the consent of the parties, referred to mediation vide
order dated 24.11.2025 with a view to explore the possibility of an
amicable settlement between the parties.

At this stage, learned counsel for the parties jointly
submit that the dispute could not be resolved during the mediation
proceedings. However, they submit that the parties are still engaged
in discussions and negotiations with a view to arrive at an amicable
settlement outside the Court, and therefore seek some further time
for exploring the possibility of an out-of-court settlement.
Considering the joint request made on behalf of the
parties and bearing in mind that settlement of disputes through
mutual agreement is always desirable as it saves valuable judicial
time and preserves the relationship between the parties, this Court is
inclined to grant a short accommodation to enable the parties to
explore the possibility of resolving the dispute amicably.
Accordingly, the matter is adjourned to enable the
parties to explore the possibility of an out-of-court settlement.
It is, however, made clear that in the event the parties
fail to arrive at a settlement, the matter shall be taken up for
addressing further arguments on the plaintiff’s application under
Order XV-A CPC (Delhi Amendment) on the next date of hearing
i.e., 30.03.2026.
