1. Heard.

2. The parties were sent to the mediation and the report of mediation center

has been filed.

3. The FAM No.11/2019 is by the wife against the judgment and decree of

divorce dated 18-05-2018. In another appeal, lis is about the custody of

child, whereby the wife Smt. Ranjana Pandey has challenged the custody

order of the Family Court wherein custody is given to father, the said

appeal is pending as FAM No.84/2019.

4. In both the appeals, the parties were sent for mediation and the settlement

has been arrived at. The settlement is placed on record. According to the

settlement, for offence under Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code of

Police Station-Chakarbhata, respondent-Praveen Pandey and others were

acquitted on 22-11-2013 by the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Bilha and

the appeal having been preferred before the Fifth Additional Sessions

Judge, Bilaspur (C.G.) that too was dismissed on 19-12-2014, against

which a CRR No.932/2015 was filed by the appellant and it is submitted

that according to terms of the settlement, the same has been withdrawn by

order dated 07-02-2023.

5. According to the settlement of the parties, the wife would withdraw the

appeal FAM No.11/2019, wherein the decree of divorce was under

challenge. Likewise the wife would also withdraw the appeal FAM

No.84/2019, whereby the custody order of their children was under

challenge. The settlement further purports that an application under

Section 125 and another application under Section 125 (3) of Code of

Criminal Procedure, 1973 were filed before the Family Court, Bilaspur and

the parties submit that same have been withdrawn.

6. Consequently, it appears that the terms of settlement have already been

arrived at, which further purports that the custody of the child namely Vivek

@ Shourya Pandey would be with the mother Smt. Ranjana Pandey and

husband would not claim any right including the visitation right. The terms

of settlement would be relevant which are reproduced herein below:-
