Reason:
respondent and the petitioner husband has already paid a sum
2
of Rs.50,00,000/- towards permanent alimony, stridhan,
maintenance (past, present and future) to the wife. As
contended before us, it is merely a car bearing Registration
No. PB 02 BS 6666 to be transferred in the name of the
respondent (wife) on the cost to be borne by the petitioner
(husband). In the said process, both parties are required to
cooperate in transfer of the registration for which both have
agreed. It is to be noted that since the amount has already
been paid, therefore, the cheque No. 000128 dated 10.04.2026
drawn on the ICICI Bank, Batala Road, District Amritsar,
Punjab amount to Rs.20,00,000/- (Rupees twenty lakhs only) be
returned to the petitioner (husband).
4. The petitioner is personally present in Court and the
respondent (wife) joined virtually. They have been
identified by their respective counsel. We have interacted
with the parties. They have agreed to the terms of the
settlement and stated to abide those terms. They further
agreed to grant a decree of divorce by mutual consent.
5. Both parties have filed IA No. 42551 of 2026 seeking
dissolution of marriage under Article 142 of the Constitution
of India seeking decree of divorce by mutual consent in view
of the settlement as arrived at between them.

with the following directions :

has been paid to the respondent (wife) by the
petitioner (husband) and are accepted by the respondent

present, future) and by virtue of the same, she would
not have any other claim in the movable or immovable
properties of the husband or his family.

of the Settlement Agreement, pending between the
parties against each other shall stand quashed/disposed
of.

Police Station Transit Camp, district Udham Singh Nagar
against the petitioner husband and his family members
stands quashed.
(iv) Accepting the terms of the settlement and as consented
by the parties, on their request in exercise of our
4
jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution of
India, we grant the decree of divorce by mutual
consent. Consequently, the marriage between the
petitioner-husband (Raghu Sharma) and the respondent-
wife (Shubhangi Sharma) shall stand dissolved. By an
outcome of the dissolution of marriage, the parties are
set free to lead their lives separately as per their
own will.
