The petitioner and respondent No.2 as well as learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the parties have settled their disputes on their own free will, without any force or coercion vide a Compromise Deed dated 21.6.2018.

In view of the aforesaid circumstances, the settlement arrived at between the parties and taking into consideration the age, career and socio-economic background of the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to give the petitioner a chance to reform and reintegrate into the society as a productive member.
