Harish Barthwal vs Asha Barthwal

The Supreme Court upheld the mutual consent divorce decree passed on 24th July 2006, which mandated the husband to pay a total of Rupees five lakhs as permanent alimony in three instalments. The Court noted that the appellant had made partial payments and allowed an extension for the remaining payment, thereby permitting the respondent to withdraw the amounts deposited. The appeal was disposed of in favor of the appellant, extending the time for payment as per the consent decree.
