Respondent No.2 averred in the report that after her

cran215.23-corrected -2marriage with applicant No.1, in the year 2014, she was treated well for some period. But thereafter, the applicants consistently abused and ill-treated her one one ground or the other. She therefore, lodged the report.

4.

Learned advocates for the parties submit that the matter has been amicably settled between the applicants and respondent No.2 through mediation. The parties are present before the Court. The consent terms are filed on record alongwith report of the mediator. Respondent No.2 has given express consent for allowing the application. Learned A.P.P. has strongly opposed to allow the application.

5.

Considering the fact that the matter has been amicably settled, the application deserves to be allowed in the interest of justice. The application thus is allowed in terms of prayer clause "B". No costs.
