Upon a memo informing the court that the matter has been settled out of court hence the suit may dismissed as not pressed, the court will dismiss the suit, after which, as per the Tamilnadu Court Fee Act, 50% of the court fee is refundable on an application for refund by the counsel for plaintiff. However, if the matter has been referred to Lok Adalat and the mutual compromise has been recorded before the Lok Adalat, refund of full court fee paid is eligible. This may differ from one state to another, hence check it up locally.
