In the case between Abdul Gaffar Kamal Hussain (executor, substituted for Al-Haj Mohammed Hussain Abdul Gaffar) and S.M.

The appeal addressed the settlement of Rs. 52,500/- in costs, the substitution of parties following the death of the original appellant, and the agreed manner of payment. It was determined that, based on the parties’ consensus and the absence of objection by the respondents, the appropriate course was dismissal of the appeal without imposing any further costs.
