FCA 12/16 2 Judgment
The parties state that they are ad-idem on the terms mentioned in the
compromise pursis. They state that though a decree of divorce was
passed in favour of the respondent-Husband, they have started residing
together and the decree of the Family Court may be modified
accordingly.
3. In the interest of justice and in view of the statements made
by the parties as also the terms mentioned in the compromise pursis, the
family court appeal is disposed of by observing that the divorce decree
passed in favour of the respondent-Husband shall not be acted upon. The
divorce decree would not survive as the parties have started residing
together in the matrimonial home.
4. Hence, we dispose of the family court appeal in terms of the
statements made in the compromise pursis. A decree be drawn
accordingly.
