Hitendra Manubhai Patel vs kamaxi Hitendra Patel and Ors

Bench: 2 — Kurian

In Brief

In this matrimonial dispute between spouses who had been engaged in multiple litigations, the Supreme Court facilitated settlement through court-assisted mediation conducted by two senior counsel. The parties, both highly educated, reached a comprehensive settlement agreement and decided to cease further litigation. The Court disposed of the appeal in terms of the settlement, directed the registry to supply signed copies to both parties, and restrained them from initiating fresh litigation against each other without the Court's express leave. The judgment emphasized the importance of children's right to parental care and respect from both parents."> </invoke>
