6. Having regard to the fact that parties i.e., husband

have agreed for a divorce by mutual consent, we deem
it appropriate to invoke our powers under Article 142

litigations between them.

have invited our attention to paragraph 1 of the
Settlement Agreement which states as under:
“(1) That it is clarified that
the full name of the Petitioner/
First Party is Yashoda Hada, and
she is also known as Yashoda @
Yamini. Accordingly, all
references to “Yashoda”, Yashoda
@Yamini” and/or “Yashoda Hada @
Yamini” in the proceedings and in
the present settlement shall
refer to one and the same person
namely the Petitioner/First Party
herein.”
10. It is submitted that by mistake the name of the
petitioner was wrongly described as Yashoda @ Yamini.
In fact, it is Yashoda Hada @ Yamini. In such view of
5
the matter, the learned counsel for the petitioner is
permitted to make necessary corrections in the array
of party. In the decree of divorce which is to be
drawn in terms of this order, the corrected name of
the petitioner shall be reflected.
11. Transfer petition and all application(s) shall stand
disposed of in terms above.
