Bhavsar Construction Co. Pvt. Ltd. – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
1. The Suit was listed for settlement on account of submission made on Plaintiffs’ behalf that the disputes are amicably resolved. Accordingly, Consent Terms are tendered jointly by the learned counsel appearing for Plaintiffs and the learned counsel appearing for the Defendant Nos. 8 to 11.
