JUDGMENT
M.B.Snehalatha, J
When these appeals came up for hearing today, learned
counsel appearing for both sides submitted that the dispute
between the parties has been settled in the mediation held under
the aegis of Mediation Centre, Ernakulam and a memorandum of
settlement has been filed before this Court.
2. We have examined the memorandum of settlement
and we notice that it has been signed by the parties and
subscribed by their counsel. The terms of the settlement are
lawful and therefore the settlement arrived at by the parties is
accepted.
3. In view of the memorandum of settlement filed by the
parties before this Court, the above three appeals are disposed of
as follows:
a) The judgment and decree in Mat.A Nos.469/2022, 457/2022 & 573/2024 2025 : KER: 25598
0.P.No.337/2018 of Family Court, Nedumangad stands set aside and the parties shall file a joint
petition seeking divorce by mutual consent before the Family Court, Nedumangad as agreed to in the memorandum of settlement.
b) We also leave libertyto the partiesto move the learned Family Court appropriately for waiver of the statutory 'cooling off' period; however, leaving full liberty to the learned Family Court to take a final decision on it, as per law.
c) The permanent custody of the minor ward Aastik P.Abhilash shall be with the appellant/mother as agreed to in the memorandum of settlement.
d) In the light of the settlement arrived at by the parties Mat.A No.469/2022 and Mat.A No.573/2024 are dismissed as withdrawn. The parties are directed to act implicitly in terms of the joint
compromise, which do form part of the judgment.
