    Does an amicable settlement agreement have legal power?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Yes, once an amicable settlement is reached, it must be documented in a written agreement signed by both parties. This document is then approved by the supervising judge of the Mediation and Conciliation Directorate. Once approved, the agreement is legally binding and carries the force of a writ of execution. This means that the terms of the settlement can be enforced directly through the Centre's Judgment Enforcement Directorate without the need for further litigation, providing a definitive resolution for the parties involved.
