The terms of settlement included the defendant surrendering the suit property and all related documents to the plaintiff, the plaintiff relinquishing any interest in other properties acquired before their divorce, withdrawal of all criminal complaints by the plaintiff against the defendant, each party bearing its own costs, and the defendant introducing the plaintiff as the new owner to the local authorities and the former landowner.
