                                                   JUDGMENT

(Judgment of the Court was delivered by N.KIRUBAKARAN, J)

The Appellant has preferred this Appeal against the dismissal

of divorce petition filed by him to dissolve the marriage solemnised

between him and the Respondent. The appellant got married to the

Respondent on 03.05.2017. The Appellant filed divorce petition before

the Family Court, Chengalpattu, alleging that the Respondent committed

cruelty to him. On contest, the divorce petition was dismissed, against

which, only the present Appeal has been filed.

2.When the matter is called before this Court today, both

Appellant and Respondent along with their respective counsel appeared

before this Court.

3.Mr.D.Ravichandar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of

the Respondent would submit that the Respondent is ready and agreeable

for divorce. When this Court enquired the Respondent about this, she

agreed to get divorce and further she submitted that she does not want

any alimony from the Appellant.

4.In view of the above said categorical statement made by the

parties, it is very much clear that the parties do not have any intention to

live together and they want to get separated. The parties have also filed a

memo of compromise dated 30.07.2021 duly signed by the parties and

countersigned by their respective learned counsel, to the above said

effect.

5.Therefore, the decree and judgment passed by the trial Court

in F.C.I.D.O.P.No.123 of 2017 dated 24.02.2021 is setaside and the

marriage solemnised between the Appellant and the Respondent on

03.05.2017 is dissolved. The memo of compromise dated 30.07.2021

filed by the parties shall form part of the decree.

6.Accordingly, the Appeal is disposed of. No costs.

                                                                      (NKKJ)        (TVTSJ)
                                                                           04.08.2021
