Further, the petitioners challenge the order dated 10.04.2024 passed by the Appellate Tribunal, whereby the statutory appeal filed by the petitioners under Section 16 of the Act of 2007 was dismissed. 2.

During the pendency of the instant writ petition, the parties made efforts to resolve their dispute amicably, which efforts have since fructified.
