Aparna Mehta Kapur & Anr vs State Of U.P. & Anr

The Supreme Court, while exercising its jurisdiction under Article 32 of the Constitution, addressed a writ petition filed by a wife seeking amicable settlement of disputes with her husband and expeditious disposal of their matrimonial case under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Court noted that mediation efforts led to a draft settlement agreement, which was ultimately accepted by both parties, allowing for the dissolution of marriage by mutual consent and quashing of pending cases. The Court held that the settlement was reached voluntarily and without coercion, thus facilitating the divorce process.
