What to bring

Papers to bring

Identity proof of every party signing (photocopies; the originals to show)
The terms agreed, in writing, with amounts, dates and how each payment is made
Cheques or drafts to be handed over under the compromise, and the property details if land or a house is involved
The main case: its number and year, the court, the names of the parties and the next date

Where to go

Both parties sign it and usually appear in court (or before the Lok Adalat or the mediation centre) to make their statements; the court records the compromise and decides the case in its terms.

Fee

No court fee is usually needed on the compromise; if the case is settled in a Lok Adalat or through mediation, ask whether the court fee paid can be refunded.

Good to know

Read every term before signing: a compromise decree binds you like any decree and is hard to undo.
Say what happens if a party does not pay or act on time; a compromise that also covers land outside this case may need a registered deed, so ask your lawyer.

Papers and fees can change. Check with the office before you go. Guidance only, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.
