It is informed that pursuant to the settlement demand draft bearing No.687655 dated 8.2.2017 for the sum of `4,00,000/- drawn on Induslnd Bank has been handed over to the complainant today in the court. Divorce by mutual consent has been granted. (3) The petition is supported by the affidavits of the parties.
