About this template
What is this template?
This document is a combined application and affidavit for the transfer of a pending court file in the context of a Suit for Recovery. It is not a settlement agreement itself, but a procedural filing to move a case that has already been settled between the parties.
When should you use it?
Use this template when parties to a lawsuit in India reach an out-of-court settlement and must petition the court to put up the file before a specific authority for final orders. Use a Withdrawal of Suit application instead if the plaintiff simply wishes to drop the case without a formal referral.
Who it's for
- a plaintiff and defendant in an Indian recovery suit who have settled their disputes and need the file transferred
- litigants requesting a court to refer a pending case file to a Lok Adalat or specific judicial officer
