In Brief
A husband sought to transfer his matrimonial case from Kolkata to New Delhi. The Supreme Court referred the matter to its Mediation Centre, where both spouses reached a comprehensive settlement agreement covering divorce, property division, bank locker management, and asset distribution. Both parties declared the settlement was made of their free will and agreed to act in good faith. The Court accepted the settlement and directed the parties to file a mutual consent divorce petition before the appropriate court in Kolkata, with all pending cases withdrawn and the settlement terms to be strictly observed."
