Dear Abhishek,
Litigation Settlement A/c Dr. (150000 x 9)
To Bank (150000 x 9)
As told by Narish singh Negi that "Refund of Fee " A/c should be debited , which is wrong because Co. have lost a petition in which they to pay the claims to the Plantiff. If we Debit the "Refund of Fees " A/c then it may be construed that it's a Refund in the nature of Normal business which will be misleading to the Reader of the Financial Statement that is why the entry should be aforesaid mentioned should be passed & then Transfer it to P&L A/c)
& Remember show it on the Face of the P&L A/c under the head of "Exceptional Items" (Revised Schedule VI)
As per AS 5 ,when Income & Expenses in profit & Loss from Ordinary activities are of such size & nature that their non- disclosure will mislead the financial Instrument although it is from Ordinary activities of the co, seperate disclosure is required.
Litigation Settlement is one of those type of Income & Expense (For more detail Refer AS 5)
