3. The petitioner-wife is present in the Court
through video-conferencing.
4. It is stated in the Settlement Agreement that the
mediation has been successful and the parties have
decided to give an end to their relationship as
husband and wife, on the terms and conditions, which
are stipulated in the Settlement Agreement. The
Settlement Agreement dated 19.05.2025 is duly signed
by the petitioner-wife (Aditi Gupta) and respondent-
husband (Adarsh Chandrakar), and their respective
advocate as well as the learned Mediator.
5. As per the Settlement Agreement, the respondent-
husband has agreed to pay a total sum of Rs.
20,08,000/- to his children. Out of this amount, Rs.
10,00,000/- has already been paid to the petitioner-
wife on 01.06.2025 by way of cheques bearing Nos.
10017318 and 10017319.

7. From the pleadings on record, it is clear that
the marriage between petitioner-wife and respondent-
husband has irretrievably broken down. We, therefore,
find that this is a fit case in which this Court
should invoke its jurisdiction under Article 142 of
the Constitution of India and give an end to the
relationship between the parties.
8. Therefore, the marriage between petitioner-wife
and respondent-husband is dissolved as per terms and
conditions stipulated in the Settlement Agreement.

between the parties are quashed and set aside:
