O R D E R

Heard learned counsel for the parties.

Pursuant  to  the  order  dated  22.01.2021,  the  parties  were

referred to the Supreme Court Mediation Centre. 

With  the  assistance  of  the  learned  Mediator,  Mr.  Snehasish

Mukherjee,  Advocate, the  parties have  settled their  disputes and

have executed an agreement.  The parties have agreed to dissolve

their  marriage  by  a  decree  of  divorce  as  the  marriage  has

irretrievably  broken  down.   Both  the  parties  being  economically

independent,  they  do  not  have  any  pecuniary  claims  against  each

other. 

In  exercise  of  jurisdiction  under  Article  142  of  the

Constitution of India, to do complete justice, this Court deems it

appropriate  to  pass  a  decree  of  divorce  by  mutual  consent  under

Section  13-B  of  the  Hindu  Marriage  Act  dissolving  the  marriage

between the petitioner and the respondent.

2

The  cases  filed  by  the  petitioner  and  the  respondent

respectively, as noticed in paragraph 2 of the settlement agreement

shall stand disposed of.

This order shall be communicated to the concerned courts for

necessary action to update the records.

The transfer petitions are, accordingly, disposed of in terms

of the settlement.

Pending  connected  applications,  if  any,  stand  disposed  of

accordingly.
