The Supreme Court of India has concluded a decade-long matrimonial dispute that involved over 60 legal cases across various courts by granting divorce to a couple who reached a mutual settlement. The bench, comprising Justices B V Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan, utilized Article 142 of the Constitution to facilitate a resolution, emphasizing that the parties voluntarily agreed to the terms without coercion. The settlement includes a permanent alimony of ₹1 crore (approximately $120,000 USD) to be paid by the husband to the wife and the transfer of his share in a property located in Lonavala through a registered gift deed. The court also ordered the release of ₹90 lakh (roughly $108,000 USD) held in its registry to the petitioner, ensuring the financial aspects of the settlement were completed. Furthermore, the Supreme Court quashed all pending cases between the parties, including criminal complaints and domestic violence proceedings, effectively terminating any future claims against each other. This landmark decision underscores the court's commitment to resolving complex matrimonial disputes and providing closure to litigants.
