This application template is used to request the transfer of an ongoing court case to a different authority or specific legal body, such as a Lok Adalat or a mediation center. It is specifically designed for situations where the plaintiff and defendant have reached a settlement or compromise and wish to finalize the matter efficiently.
About this template
What is this template?
This is a formal court application used in Indian civil litigation to request a case transfer after a settlement. It is not a settlement agreement itself, but a procedural filing that notifies the court that the defendant now admits the plaintiff's claim.
When should you use it?
Use this when both parties have signed a compromise deed and need the court to move the file to a Lok Adalat or a different bench for final orders. Use a 'Compromise Deed' instead if you are still documenting the terms of the settlement.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Case Status | Identifies the current court where the suit for declaration is pending and the next fixed date. |
| 2 | Compromise Statement | Records that the plaintiff and defendant have arrived at a compromise where the defendant admits the suit property claim. |
| 3 | Transfer Request | States the applicant's intent to move the file to a specific named authority or court. |
| Final Paragraph | Prayer | Formally requests the court to transfer the case file in the interest of justice. |
Who it's for
