J.K. Jain & Ors vs Ziff-Davis

The Supreme Court disposed of Civil Appeal Nos. 5187-5188 of 2002 as infructuous due to a settlement reached between the parties. The court noted that if the compromise petition is not filed in the suit, either party retains the right to apply for recall of the order. This decision underscores the principle that appeals may be rendered moot by settlement, allowing for judicial economy.
