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.
