In Brief
In this matrimonial dispute, the petitioner-wife (Sneha Parikh) filed a transfer petition seeking to move her estranged husband's divorce petition from the Delhi Family Court. The Supreme Court referred the matter to its Mediation Centre, where both parties reached a comprehensive settlement. They agreed to dissolve their marriage by mutual consent, with the husband paying Rs. 18 lakh as full and final settlement. The wife withdrew the criminal complaint against the husband and his family. The Court granted divorce and quashed the FIR under Article 142, disposed of the transfer petition, and praised the mediation process."
