Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court quashed all proceedings between the appellant and Respondent No.1, including CC Case No.Cr.C/93783/16 and FIR No.121/2012, based on the parties' mutual consent to resolve their disputes amicably. The Court emphasized that the purpose of a mutual consent divorce is to allow parties to part peacefully, and thus imposed a restraint on both parties from instituting any further litigation against each other or their families without prior permission. The appeal was disposed of with no orders as to costs.
