The petitioner has filed a divorce petition but the same, as per the submission of the learned counsel for the informant, has been dismissed. The effort for amicable settlement was taken and the matter was referred to the Patna High Court Mediation Centre. The report dated 21.12.2021 of Mediation Centre, Patna High Court is available with the record. The Mediator has reported that the parties have failed to settled their dispute through mediation.
