Both parties submitted affidavits confirming a settlement covering monthly maintenance of Rs.5,000, educational expenses for the children, visitation rights, training expenses for the respondent, and provision of rented accommodation if needed. The court examined the compromise and, finding the parties’ intent to settle, approved the terms. Consequently, the earlier judgment (HM No.38/2024) was set aside, and the parties were directed to be granted a decree of divorce by mutual consent. The application was allowed, and the appeal was disposed of in favor of the appellant.
