The case was referred for mediation and the matter has been settled. The mediation settlement agreement is recorded. We also see that the respondent has no objection in having the Mat Appeal allowed on the ground of cruelty levelled by the appellant. We, accordingly, record the settlement agreement and allow the appeal in terms of the settlement on the ground of cruelty and rejecting the contention that the marriage was null and void. We do this noticing the mediation settlement and the material evidence in this case and also because there is absolutely no material to hold that there is any collusion between the parties. Resultantly, this appeal will stand disposed of in terms of the settlement agreement dated 21.12.2011 and further that the marriage between the appellant and the respondent will stand dissolved from this date by the force of this judgment/decree. The mediation settlement agreement will stand appended to this judgment. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN Judge Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS/22.12
