As per the report of the learned Registrar (Judicial) dated 26.9.2025, it is informed that the applicants and respondent No.2 have voluntarily entered into aforesaid Settlement Deed, which is now marked as "X" for identification. 2.
On going through the Terms of Settlement,it appears that marriage between the applicant NO.1 and respondent No.2 has already been dissolved under the decree dated 31.7.2024 in HMP No. F-12/2024 passed by the learned Family Court, Jalna.

Care in respect of custody of minor child is also taken by keeping the custody of minor daughter with respondent No.2 wife with visitation rights to the applicant No.1, as per the decree of the Family Court, Jalna.
