Since the FDRs are jointly owned by plaintiff and defendants and\n                                since this issue is being raised since the filing of the suit, it would be\n                                appropriate, considering the relations between the parties, they should settle\n                                the matter amicably and hence, as requested, they are directed to appear\n                                before the Organising Secretary of The Delhi High Court Mediation and\n                                Conciliation Centre.6.
