In Brief
A husband sought to transfer his wife's divorce petition from a Family Court in Mumbai to a court in Delhi. During Supreme Court proceedings, the parties agreed to settle their entire dispute for Rs. 5 crores, with the husband paying Rs. 3.5 crores immediately and Rs. 1.5 crores within a year, plus exchanging personal belongings. Both parties executed a comprehensive deed of settlement renouncing future claims on each other's property and alimony. The Supreme Court granted the transfer petition, transferred the pending divorce petition to the apex court for final disposition, and ordered the case listed for further proceedings after settlement payment was realized.
