DATE:

P. C.

1.

Interim Application No. 7076 of 2024 has been filed by the Appellant-wife seeking a stay of the impugned judgment and decree dated 29th December, 2023. Interim Application No. 8420 of 2024 has been filed by

the Appellant-wife seeking interim maintenance. The above Family Court Appeal has also been filed by the Appellant-wife under which a divorce was granted to the husband on the ground of cruelty. 2.

When the above matters had come up on the earlier occasion, we had noted that there are no children involved in this dispute and hence we had impressed upon the parties to try and see if any amicable solution could be reached.

3.

Today when the matter is called out, we are happy to note that with the intervention of the counsel, the parties have agreed to resolve their dispute amicably. In principle, it is agreed that the Respondent husband shall pay to the Appellant-wife a sum of Rs. 18 Lacs in three equal monthly installments. The parties have also agreed that once the entire payment is made, this Court can pass a decree of divorce by mutual consent and substitute the same in place of the impugned order. Additionally, the Appellant-wife has also agreed that once full payment is made, all proceedings initiated by her against the Respondent-husband would be withdrawn.

4.

Since these are the broad principles on which the parties have agreed to settle their disputes, we now place the above matter on 9th August, 2024 for filing consent terms.
