In Brief
Deep Mala appealed against concurrent findings in her divorce case against Deepak Kumar Gupta. The Supreme Court, assisted by senior counsel acting as mediator, settled the dispute through a compromise arrangement. The respondent was ordered to pay Rs. 5,00,000 as one-time settlement within three months, during which interim maintenance of Rs. 7,000 monthly would continue. After payment, all liabilities ceased and no further claims could be made. The contempt petition was dismissed, and the Court emphasized that no future litigation could arise from the matrimonial dispute."
