ORDER
This contempt petition has been filed alleging noncompliance of the order dated 18.07.2017 passed in C.M.A. No.3234 of 2013 and C.R.P. (PD) No.3797 of 2013.
Today, when this matter was taken up for hearing, the petitioner/party-in-person submitted that he is willing to hand over both the Kisan Vikas Patra in the name of his child Master Jaivanth for a sum of Rs.5 lakhs and also the F.D. Receipt in the name of his child for a like sum, invested in State Bank of India, Avadi Branch, to the respondent, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and that after the maturity of Kisan Vikas Patra, he would hand over the maturity proceeds to the child, as, according to him, the child must know that it is he, the father, who has handed over the money and not the mother. It is his further submission that the quarterly interest is being credited to the account of the respondent. Concededly, the petitioner has obtained an ex parte divorce.
The learned counsel for the respondent submitted that the respondent is not willing to live with the petitioner; she is not interested in filing a petition to set aside the ex parte decree for divorce; and she accepts the ex parte divorce. The learned counsel for the respondent further submitted that the respondent does not have any objection in the petitioner visiting the child once in a month on any of the holidays, of course, after duly intimating her of his intended visit beforehand.
Recording the aforesaid submission of the petitioner/party-in-person and the learned counsel for the respondent, this contempt petition stands closed, inasmuch as nothing survives for adjudication. (S.V.N., J.) (A.D.J.C.,J.) 26.04.2023 cad
